Двор на кирилицата
Museum
👍👍 One thing that I wish - Bulgarian Government will put up more fund to add English version of each touristic site history so it will be more easier for us to understand behind all of these waxes or letters and so on. And so we can feel the history while visiting this sort of place. If we don’t have...

The entry is 6 lev (3 usd) per person and covers all 3 sites and the museum.
There a small cafe with beer and soft drinks....

Pliska Museum of National History and Archaeology
Archaeological museum
😐 I am excited everytime when I go there. There is a very special and strong feeling when you step through the Main Eastern Gate. A very few countries can be proud of having their first capital preserved after a millenia.
The bad thing is that the country is neglecting such places. Not much more is do...

Park Kyoshkovete
Park
😐 Came here just few days ago (winter time) and from my photos - it’s not as great during summer but definitely a great place to have a walk especially in summer as it would be more bright and colourful coz of the trees and flowers.

waterfall

👍👍 Visiting the waterfall and the eco-trail is a perfect one-day getaway from the city. Named Skoka, the height of the waterfall is about 50 meters, making it one of the highest waterfalls in Bulgaria. The altitude of the waterfall is just about 280 meters above sea level, which makes it very easy to r...
