👍👍 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...

Archaeological museum
👍👍 Great place to learn more about Bulgarian history and culture. You can see examples of the early Bulgarian signs written in Bulgarian from 9-10 century AD. I would recommend that visit the museum first then the ruins of then town. And do get a guide. Worth the visit!

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...

Both pizzas were amaz...
