With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience everything that Veliko Tarnovo, 16 miles away, has to offer. Tsarevets Fortress ought to be toward the top of your list here. Church of Sveti Arhangeli Mikhail & Gavril and Church of Sveti Petr & Pavel are interesting attractions too. Tryavna is another terrific option. It’s 18 miles away and has tons of interesting things to do. Museum of Icons, Church of Sveti Arhangeli Mihail and Daskalov House are just the start.
