Tour Overview

Discover Bulgaria’s medieval heritage on a private guided “Old Capitals” tour from Veliko Tarnovo, designed for up to 4 travelers. Begin at the impressive ruins of Pliska Fortress, the country’s first capital, where massive stone walls and palace remains reveal the strength of the early Bulgarian state.

Continue to the iconic Madara Horseman, a UNESCO World Heritage Site carved high into a limestone cliff, offering both historical insight and sweeping views of the surrounding landscape.

Next, explore Veliki Preslav, the second capital and cultural center of Bulgaria’s Golden Age. Walk through the fortress and visit the Archaeological Museum, home to fine ceramics, inscriptions, and royal artifacts. Enjoy some free time in Preslav for a relaxed lunch or a stroll.

On the return, stop for photos at the Aviation Park in Omurtag. This private tour blends history, culture, and scenic views into a memorable journey through Bulgaria’s first capitals.
