Is the "light and Sound" show at Veliko's fortress performed in June? What is the schedule?
Thanks, Daniel
try ( www.mybulgaria.info ) also you can look here for links to tourist information on bulgaria here. ( www.towd.com )
They'll do the show whenever there is someone who is willing to pay for it, but it is generally *NOT* scheduled until a busload of paying customers shows up or makes a reservation through a tour company. If you're going to be in VT for a couple of days, there's a very good chance that you'll catch it. For more info you can check at the desk of the Grand Hotel VT or at the Tourist Info Center in downtown VT. Either can give you the phone number of the sound & light people.
I don't know what it costs to have them do the show.
1 - 1 EUR = 1,95583 leva, fixed rate. Exchange houses do not charge commission
2 - tourist info center in the small park at the end of the main shopping street is closed outside business hours (open Satrurday morning, however).
3 - elderly people speak rather German than English
4 - in some places, toilets are not fore free, not even restaurant ones (this becomes important, once you abuse of too much yoghurt mixed with honey :-)
This is one of the city's modern iconic scuptures, located in the park where the river loops through the centre, next door to the Boris Denev Art Gallery. It was commisioned to celebrate the 1985 800th anniversary of the revolt against the Byzantines by Assen the 1st and his brother Petar which led to the establishment of the Bulgarian 2nd Empire and the proclamation of Veliko Turnovo as the Nation's capital.
There are four figures in all, the other two being the subsequent Assen kings, Kaloyan and Ivan who established Bulgaria's position as a leading European state and Veliko Turnovo as a major capital.
as the old town is cobble stone and the fortress is muddy and has brick trail, wear hiking boots or at least strong shoes. Also for the surrounded area such as the Trapezitsa and Arbanasi it is recommendable
On the way to the river i met across with some beautifull puppies and i play a little bit..their mum dislike it at all i guess and she cross the narrow street straight to me with just one purpose, bite me, and bloddy dog she got it !!!! but nothing happenned, the owner just shouted it but didnt move a finger or said im sorry !!!! Bulgarians lol !!!
Unfortunately I didn't find this little oddball of a "snack bar" until my last night (on this visit) when it caught my eye on the way back to my hotel that evening. This place certainly ticks all my boxes and had I been staying any longer this would have become my regular haunt.
Although designated as a "snack bar" the menu covers most of the Bulgarian staples and all at very reasonable prices. Drinks too are cheap and the place has a great, slightly louche, buzz, assisted by the, not overpowering, classic rock musical background. Service is young and friendly (with a little English when required) and the clientele seems a mix of students, rockers and local intellectuals. The decor is individual; partly "junk shop", partly "second-hand musical instrument store" and with its cosy little bar, complete with barstools, seems the sort of place where you can just pop in for a beer.
All this AND it offers freebie WiFi.
One thing I am confused with though is the name - Does it mean "Short Interval" or is it named after the Bahranian "Malkiya" Football Club? If anyone out there knows please give me a shout! Having just come back from a day out in Tryavna, via my diversion at Trapezitsa, I was both peckish and in the mood for a few drinks. This was the perfect place for both.
For starter I went for the "Salata Gradska" which turned out to be a plateful of strained yoghurt mixed through with nuts, peppers and sweetcorn and made an ideal foil for my warming Troyanska Slivova Rakiya. For main course I decided to pig out with the "Svinska Vratna Poorjola" (Pork Collar Steak) which was succulently tender and just cried out for the amazingly cheap, and luciously-rich, half-litre of Menada wine to accompany it.
The atmosphere was so laid back that a coffee had to be savoured to prolong my visit which brought my final bill to the princely sum of 18.50 leva.
Yep best value in town and first on my list for my next revisit.
