Freedom Square

We decided to leave the tourists today and explore the town while geocaching and happened to make our way here. Great spot to stop, relax and watch everything around (not to mention take a few photos).

Rock-hewn Churches of Ivanovo

Reviewed By Gabriel H - Bellaire, Texas, United States

The Rock-hewn Churches of Ivanovo represent a cluster of 5 churches in close proximity to each other, located on the Southern shore of the Rusenski Lom river. The churches are part of the Rusenski Lom Nature Park and were included in the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1979. All the churches along the river are thought to have started as natural cave, which were expanded and shaped by monks starting in the early 13th century. The five churches included in this group (St. Theodor Chapel, the Gospodev Dol Chapel, the St. Archangel Michael Chapel (aka the Buried Chapel), the Baptistery and the Main Church represent the major touristic attractions because of the well--preserved 13th and 14th century frescoes on their walls. The frescoes have marked Byzantine influence and are a good example of Palaeologan art. Archaeological explorations in the area continue, as do the continued care and restoration of the inscriptions and frescoes in these churches. The Churches are open to visitors between April 1 and November 30, every day, from 9:00 am and 6:00 pm, for a token entrance fee. Guided tours are available.

St. Dimitrii of Basarbovo Monastery

Reviewed By Lubomir S - Varna, Bulgaria

I went there after my visit to Ivanovo rock monastery and may be that is why I took it as its shadow. However, the place is very well maintained, beautiful and picturesque, although not as ancient. It is worth a visit though.

Basarbovo Monastery “St. Dimitrii of Basarbovo”

Reviewed By Mariana N - Sofia, Bulgaria

Rock Monastery
for the first time his name was mentioned in Ottoman tax register from 1431. The most famous inhabitant of the monastery was born in 1685g. in the nearby. Basarbovo - St. Dimitar Besarbovski who spent his entire life here.
Feeling especially in the church situated in the rock, beautiful views, climbing the stone stairs and a new room, part of the Rock Church ...
I strongly recommend if you are near Ruse to take two hours to go to this landmark. This is a church that is analogous to the Ivanovo rock monasteries, which are included in the list of World Heritage by UNESCO and one of the 9 such facilities in Bulgaria. A popular tourist site.

Orlova Chuka Cave

Reviewed By AlinaLutu - Bucharest, Romania

1. The guide is very smart and funny. He spoke in Bulgarian and French with us and often used some word in Romanian.
2. The temperature is 14•c constant so you might need to have a jacket.
3. The road is very good and clear. You have to reach Dve Mogili (30km from Ruse). From here to the cave you will have another 9km. You will reach a little forest and you can park you're car there.
4. Price : 6 leva(BGN) for adults and 3 for students. No extra money for photos.
5. The last tour is at 17:00.
6. It's a beautiful cave, the second in Bulgaria, discovered in 1941, all white because is chalkstone cretacic formed.

Eco Museum & Aquarium

Reviewed By 77LuluE

What a great experience. Excellent museum of ecology, conservation and nature. Some wonderful interactive sections teaching kids through hands-on activities. There are different sections in the museum: birds (including vulture concervation and migration), mammals (including section on bats and prehistorics like mammoth), ecology and some artefacts on the top floor. Definitely worth a visit!

Sveta Troitsa Cathedral

Reviewed By fizzy1991 - Nashville, Tennessee

Because of the restrictions that the Ottoman's put on Christian church this was build mostly underground. It is beautiful and peaceful. We came during a service and it was packed with local's not tourist, which was nice to see. There are a lot of beggar's outside the church but they were harmless.

Rousse Museum of History

Reviewed By Gabriel H - Bellaire, Texas, United States

Bulgaria has a network of regional museums and this one, in Ruse, is one of 11 such regional museums. Housed in the neoclassical Battenberg Palace, built in 1882, the museum was established in 1904. Ruse being the fifth largest city in Bulgaria, the Regional Historical Museum has a surprisingly extensive collection, said to contain over 140,000 items. This part of Eastern Europe has been continuously inhabited for millennia, so the archaeological findings are extensive and cover multiple historical time periods. The collection at this museum starts with prehistoric objects, tools, weapons and pottery. Developing art skills are shown in gold and silver platters, vases and containers. Remains of Thracian, Roman and Byzantine civilizations make room for Ottoman and more recently, modern Bulgarian cultures. all these have left important traes of their presence and dominance. Satrting with the ROmans, there are traces of visual arts: ceramics, frescoes, sculptures and clothing accessories. Coins from the multiple dominant governments are brought together in cogent order. Armor, shields, weapons of all sorts complete the military history, while books, documents and other permanent witnesses to history take their rightful place.
