With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to explore everything that Ruse, 25 miles away, has to offer. Roman Fortress of Sexaginta Prista, Orlova Chuka Cave and Museum of the Urban Lifestyle in Ruse alone justify the drive out here. Don’t forget about Veliko Tarnovo either! Just 40 miles away, Tsarevets Fortress, Church of Sveti Arhangeli Mikhail & Gavril and Church of Sveti Petr & Pavel are essential stops here.
