Veliko Tarnovo

Veliko Tarnovo has an incredible wax museum. We learned through these great exhibits about the Second Bulgarian Empire, which was based in Veliko Tarnovo for a couple hundred years. Then, the Ottoman Empire invaded, ruling Bulgaria for the next 500 years. Their struggle for independence rose and fell (was crushed?) many times before the late 1880s when Veliko Tarnovo was once again named the nation's capital for a time.

This town also has a great art, coffee and craft beer scene. Very livable!Læs mere
