Overview

Visit the most elegant city in Bulgaria, Ruse.

Due to its prosperity in the 19th century, the city acquired a pronounced central European look and was even titled a “Little Vienna”.

You will start exploring Ruse from the Freedom Square, adorned with beautiful little park and fountains, the square still preserves the ambience of the old times.

Bulgarian rich history and traditions will be revealed to you during the visit to Ruse Museum of History. It occupies a former local court building and has an exposition of around 140 000 items.

Roman Fortress of Sexaginta Prista, overlooking the Danube, was once a mighty strategic Roman fort. Our guide will walk you through centuries of history to bring the place back to life.

Lose track of time when visiting the oldest church of Ruse - Holy Trinity Church, constructed during the Ottoman rule and aiming to be as unobtrusive as possible, it goes below the ground level.

The tour will end in a relaxing walk on the Danube Riverbank.
