Restaurants in Ruse Province
1. Rock-hewn Churches of Ivanovo
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 109 reviews
Reviewed By TripTeks - Austin, United States
The Ivanovo Rock Monastery is not easily reached, as it requires some solid climbing up rugged stone steps that are especially challenging if they are wet from the morning dew. But in this case, the juice is worth the squeeze. And speaking of squeezing, expect to do just that as you enter the tight crevasse that forms the entry to this UNESCO-protected site. Inside are frescoes depicting the final days of Jesus’ life on Earth. Knowing your New Testament can be a great help, especially if you don’t have a knowledgeable guide.
2. St. Dimitrii of Basarbovo Monastery

When I got out of the tour van I was amazed at the beauty of this monastery built into the side of the mountain. It's absolutely incredible! There are quite a few steps to navigate alongside the mountain to visit the different rooms. You get to see how the Monk's lived. There is also a new monastery at the bottom where I was lucky enough to meet the resident Monk and receive a blessing. A gorgeous and incredible monastery in Bulgaria. A must see!

Reviewed By 840gabrielh - Bellaire, United States
The Orlova Chuka cave is located on the Northern shore of the Cherni Lom river, about 45 km South of Ruse, and therefore, South of the Danube river. It lies about 3 km from the town of Pepelina, the closest settlement to the caves. The caves are about 13 km long, 3 km of which can be visited. The rest is still under exploration and not accessible by the public. Orlova Chuka was discovered accidentally by a local shepherd in 1941 and was opened to visitors in 1952. It has multiple compartments, many with specific names, such as the Concert Hall, the Large Gallery, the Big Screes, the Cosmic Hall, etc. Interesting rock formations are also on display: the DInosaur, the Turtle, the Owl among others. In addition to the geological interest and the amazing views, the cave also houses 14 different bat species and it is pa rt of the Rusenski Lom Nature Park, one of 11 nature parks designated by the Bulgarian governments and protected by the Ministry of Environment and Water. The cave is open to visitors between April and October, seven days a week, between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm. The token entrance fee includes the guide, since the cave can only be visited on a guided tour.

Ruse is an open, pretty, neatly structured and good-atmosphere-breathing city. This square is no exception. Pleasant for walking around or sitting on one of the benches. Surrounded by nice architecture.

Reviewed By Companion765699 - Utrecht, The Netherlands
Ruse is a pleasant city to walk around: open, structured and it breathes a good atmosphere. Part of this is related to the ability of walking along the Danube. There are lots of open spaces and plenty benches to sit down and oversee the river and overthink life.

Interesting place with a lot of history. Definitely worth the time. Friendly staff, and easy to get too, encompassing a large chunk of Bulgarian railway history. It is housed in the first railway station built in Bulgaria in 1866
