If you’re visiting Tarnovo for a holiday, make sure it’s not in the middle of the summer! As green as it is, it gets scorching hot. We made the mistake a couple of years ago. Beautiful city though. Also greetings from Shumen, I hope you liked it here, love the outro photos!
@IoSapsai that's some great advice, thank you! I've pinned your comment so other travellers can see. Also, make sure you stick around for next week's video as some of it is set in Shumen!
Interesting fact .....our emperor kaloyan the romanslayer defeated the undefeated before Latin western knight twise and captured their first emperor balduin from Flanders ( belgium),.... the royal insignia of the asen dinasty was the snow leopard ,their graves are in tarnovo(the German call it ternau,cause there was a german quarter in tarnovo in the 1200s 1300s named frankish castle)so the graves are in st.40 Martins church.....there also the biggest Serbian saint is buried saint sava....our patriarch made him the first proper patriarch of Serbia and we made also their first emperor...Serbian empire existed for 40 years,while bulgarian arround more than700 years,close to 800 and if we count the the third bulg state(1878-2024) the number will be close to 1000,...recent studies show that our state is founded not in 681,but 200 years earlier or arround the 400s after the fall of Rome....contingents of elite Bulgarian horse knight were part of the army of attila,when he was terorising Rome,the hungarians are close to our bulgar ethnicity

The grandpa photographer is so cute! His smile is so genuine, I think you made his day :)

Veliko Britain
