In the heart of eastern Europe, cruising Bulgaria is for the privileged few who sail far East down the Danube River, where you'll find the city of Vidin. Famous for its castles, including Belogradchik, Vidin Castle, and the well-preserved Baba Vida Fortress, where you'll even see an authentic reenactment of medieval times. A biking tour of Veliko reveals Tarnovo's Tsarevets Hill, the old citadel that protected the city. A walking tour of Rousse reveals Belle Époque architecture and Roman ruins. These excursions also visit the neighboring countries of Hungary, Serbia, Austria, Romania, Croatia, and Germany. Let us know when you're ready to start planning your Bulgaria vacation.
