The unfavorable dates of bus connections meant that I had only three hours to visit Tarnovo. It is a pity, because the capital of the reborn Bulgarian state certainly deserves to be thoroughly explored. I naturally focused on the most interesting places, visiting the Tsarevets fortress and the Asenov district, once inhabited by clergy and artists. This picturesque place, located in the bends of the Yantra River, looks most attractive from the walls of the fortress.
