PLEASE, no multi invitations, glitters or self promotion in your comments, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE for anyone to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks - NONE OF MY PICTURES ARE HDR. Veliko Tarnovo is located on the Yantra River and is famous as the historical capital of the Second Bulgarian Empire in the 12th century AD. Tsarevets is the castle on the hill and one of the first things visitors see. It was not included in the tour so as soon as we got to the hotel I went to see it myself.
