With some awesome day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to explore all that Pleven, 25 miles away, has to offer. Pleven Panorama, Pleven Regional Historical Museum and Pleven Epopee 1877 alone justify the drive. The locals will also likely point you in the direction of Gabrovo, 30 miles away. If you can only see one thing here, make sure it’s Etâr Ethnographic Village Museum. (But we’d also highly recommend Museum of Satire and Humor and Church of the Holy Trinity.)
