🕒 🚌Meeting at 07:00 in Bucharest, in the Piata Victoriei car park 🚗 (📍 Parcare Piata Victoriei on Google Maps), where the coach and accompanying guide await you. Today we will explore a fascinating corner of Bulgaria, just two hours from Bucharest, in a special cultural and historical experience. 🏙️The first stop is at ⛪St Demetrius of Basarabovo Church, the patron saint of Bucharest. Here you will have the opportunity to attend a service in Romanian and Bulgarian and admire this architectural gem. 🏙️The next stop is in Ruse, a charming city with baroque buildings, also known as "the Little Vienna on the edge of the Danube". Here we will explore: 🐠Eco Museum (Natural History Museum); 📜the Freedom Monument - a landmark of Ruse, marking the liberation of Bulgaria; ⛪the Holy Trinity Church and we will walk along the main streets, full of colourful houses. 🏙️In Ruse we will also take a 🚤 Danube Cruise on the Ruschuk Ship - we will have an unforgettable experience, sailing on one of Europe's most impressive and historic rivers.
