Archaeological reserve 'Nicopolis ad Istrum'

Great place to see history from roman times in Bulgaria. Additional plus is that large part of town is very shadow and pleasant to visit even in hotter time during summer.

Very intresting and beautiful place.Away from the big city, it is ideal for 1 day trip. There are very well preserved columns and stone carvings.

Bulgarian medieval events are absolutely incredible here. Lots of quality handmade crafts at very reasonable prices, excellent shows. Wonderfully intersting roman remains. Cons, not enough facilities inside by way of food and drinks for visitors, definitely bring a picnic or there's a food van but a very limited choice and it's outside the entrance.

A very interested place, a very small Pompeii!. The Roman road you walk along is very unleaval so be careful especially if you have older people or small children. There are some holes with a drop of about 1 or 2 meters to the old Roman sewers, I think they should be roped off.
The whole place is very interesting and well worth a visit. All signs are Bulgarian and English. Its lv6 for entry. The cafe on site was closed. There are people selling some good quality Bulgarian gifts on site. There is a sign pointing to the castle, I walked to it to find a gate on route that's locked! But you can get over the small wall. Not a lot left of the castle but worth a look. There are areas taped of because digging is still being carried out.

Fantastic place, so interesting.

Well preserved site. Lots of interesting and useful information panels (info presented in both Bulgarian and English).

Great place to visit, if in the area!

Excellent place to visit olny about 1/5 uncovered so far. There Roman weekend is great fun.

this is a beautifully preserved ancient Roman settlement. If you are in Veliko Turnovo, the site makes for an easy half-a-day trip with a car. It is well worthwhile visiting this palce.

Cool historical place wow you too feel a bit of an ancient Roman. It's still under investigation and i hope it will uncover more artifacts to share with people

What a treasure of the way... if you re going to Veliko Tarnovo , or just around and you are interested in Roman culture or archeology in general, its time you have a stop here !

One beautiful place from the 1st century AD, where you can see many things from the Roman empire.

A place full of history. Well maintained, clean and quiet. A must see!

Amazing place to visit. They're still busy excavating, so I will come back in a few years to witness the progress.

Amazing place,so much history,so much to see!! Must visit!

Amazing place. Real, vast Roman streets. So many artefacts.

Well preserved. The sewers were quite a sight. Worth visiting

With every year archeologists are recovering more and more of the ancient city. You can really see how the architects were thinking and how the infrastructure of this small part of the city was created. You can read the story as you walk in English or Bulgarian.
Its maybe a 30-45 minute walk. The nature in spring make it even better.

I spent about 2 and a half hours here. Walking around is very easy though there are big holes in the walkways for the ancient sewage system. The entrance fee is 6 lev for adults. I brought binoculars and got in some good watching of storks and bee eaters. Lots of info cards with English.

A historical site, which offers not only a shift back in time to the Roman era, but also relaxation in the quiet beautiful nature in and around it. There is always a historical giude on site Seats in the shade, as well as a picnic area with a couple of tables and benches make it an all-day-round-with-the-family place.

Nikopolis ad Istrum was a great Trach city, it is very well preserved and history talks to you from every single corner. They stil have a lot to work in order to dig the grateness of it, but it is a wonderful place to visit, relax, learn something, imagine the young females walking between the giant columns...
