About this Bulgarian vlog
After arriving in Bulgaria, a number of people insisted that I travel to the former Bulgarian capital, Veliko Tarnovo. I journeyed out and was amazed at the history and culture stemming from this city. The birthplace of the second Bulgarian Empire did not disappoint!
In this episode, we get to see a lot of the Bulgarian attractions in this historical capital, including:
- Tsarevets Fortress
- Ascension Cathedral (Teofan Sokerov)
- Baldwin’s Tower (Aleksandar Reshnov)
- Yantra River
- Tsar Boris III Bridge
- Holy Forty Martyrs Church
- Monument to the Assen Dynasty
- Gurko Street
- Samovodska Chercea Market
- The House with the Monkey (Kolyo Ficheto)
I also got to get a taste of Bulgarian cuisine. The first restaurant that I tried was closed. I ended up stopping at Shtastlivetsa. I ordered a Shopska salad, which is Bulgaria’s national dish. I also got Svinsko, a pork chop fried in garlic. Both are highly recommended! I washed those delicious dishes of Bulgarian cuisine down with a local Bulgarian beer called Shumensko.
About Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria:
Veliko Tarnovo, often referred to as the "City of the Tsars," is a town with a rich historical tapestry woven through the heart of Bulgaria. The city is notably perched on the Yantra River, cradled by three hills, each carrying the weight of its past. It served as the capital of the Second Bulgarian Empire, gaining prominence from the 12th to the 14th century, a period marked by flourishing culture and significant architectural achievements, including the construction of its imposing fortress, Tsarevets.
The fall of Veliko Tarnovo to the Ottomans in 1393 marked a prolonged period of decline, but the town's spirit endured. It played a pivotal role in the Bulgarian Revival period and the fight for national independence, culminating in the 1879 drafting of the first Bulgarian constitution after liberation.
Today, Veliko Tarnovo’s culture is a palimpsest of its storied history, with medieval traditions living on in its art, festivals, and the proud spirit of its people. The town, with its picturesque houses clinging to the hillsides and its historical monuments, continues to be a bastion of Bulgarian identity and a testament to its resilient past.
About Tsarevets Fortress:
Tsarevets Fortress in Veliko Tarnovo stands as an emblem of Bulgaria's medieval might. This historic citadel, once the core of the Second Bulgarian Empire, resonates with tales of past glory and tumult. Built on the site of earlier settlements, the fortress reached its zenith between the 12th and 14th centuries, serving as the residence of Bulgarian tsars. Its imposing walls and towers, strategically perched on a hill overlooking the Yantra River, were both a defense and a statement of power. Today, Tsarevets is a revered cultural monument and a venue for the spectacular Sound and Light show, bringing history to vivid life for visitors from around the globe.

I am impressed that there is a TH-camr out there who actually cares about the history behind things he sees.
Haha! Well, I think it makes things more interesting
Greeting from surabaya,beautyful city
Thanks for watching all the videos!
Greetings from our beautiful city!Veliko Tarnovo is one of the oldest settlements in Bulgaria, with a history of more than five millennia.Thank you for video🎉
It’s a beautiful and interesting city! I’m so glad I got to check it out!
Greetings from Veliko Tarnovo thanks for the video and go Packers :)
Haha! Packers are suddenly looking alright! Love your city! I’ve got two more from Bulgaria that I’ll put out eventually
No videos can really show how stunning and picturesque the area is but you found a lot of the nice places in the city. I can't wait for the city and the government to invest a little bit in restoring the 3rd fortress of Veliko Tarnovo and reveal some of the true size of the complex.
Thank you very much! It’s an amazing city!
Yine harika bir video ve çok bilgilendirici olmuş teşekkürler 😊

Thank you! I appreciate it
Beautiful Bulgaria!❤
Thanks for watching!
I am a Bulgarian origin from silistre
I didn’t make it out there, but I’ve got more Bulgaria videos coming soon!
Great place. For me VT is my second choice to live in Bulgaria. I'd probably choose Plovdiv over it just as it is a little bigger, but Veliko Tarnovo is awesome.
I liked both! Still have a Plovdiv video to put out too. Thanks for watching!
@@TravelLordOnLoc Looking forward to your Plovdiv video.
Breathtaking!
Agreed! Thanks for watching!
I like how the standing architecture (buildings, bridges) etc is all less than 100 years old but theyre not gaudy like new architecture in other places and countries. Especially ascension cathedral, making that art contemporary to the date in which the building was built is much better than trying to copy something from centuries ago, especially if there isnt sufficient documentation about that artwork. Comparing this video with that other one in---what country was it---whatever place had all of those strange statues, you can see that trying to build a sense of an old culture or rooted civilization doesnt mean you have to overdo it and make it comical. I also like how you put on colors or scarves or hats or whatever for every country you go to to show your uspport for locals. Awesome
Hahaha thanks! Yeah, compared to Skopje the architecture was much better. I thought the cathedral was really nice!
Cool Green Bay t-shirt :) I spent a summer in Wisconsin a few years back and I totally loved it. And the Packers stadium - what a beauty!
Haha! Nice! I grew up 30 minutes away from Green Bay so of course I grew up a Packer fan
❤
