Multimedia Visitor Center “Tsarevgrad Tarnov”

Located in the heart of Veliko Tarnovo, only a short walk from Grand Hotel Yantra, the multimedia visitor center “Tsarevgrad Tarnov” is a place that combines the interactivity of modern technologies with the greatness of the Bulgarian past. Here, a few steps from the authentic cobblestone streets and medieval hills, personalities and events that marked the glorious history of the Old Capital come to life.

What will you find in the center?

The center recreates the atmosphere of Turnovgrad from the Second Bulgarian Kingdom through extremely realistic wax figures, interactive models and multimedia installations. While walking between the halls, you will meet face to face with the Bulgarian rulers, courtiers, scribes and ordinary residents of the city, dressed in characteristic robes of the XIII-XIV centuries.

One of the most impressive parts of the exposition is the restored throne room of Tsar Ivan Asen II — a stage that immerses the visitor in the splendor and power of the royal court. And for the youngest guests — and for all those with imagination — there is the opportunity to step into the role of medieval heroes themselves through themed photo corners and interactive games.

How to get from Grand Hotel Yantra?

The multimedia centre is less than a 10-minute walk from the hotel. Head down the picturesque street “Stefan Stambolov” to the square in front of the Tsarevets fortress, where you will see clear signposts. Along the way, you will enjoy panoramic views of the Tsarevets hill and the bends of the Yantra River.

Practical advice for visiting

• Best time to visit:The center works all year round, but spring and autumn are especially pleasant — fewer visitors and soft light for photos.
• What to wear:Light outerwear — the temperature inside is pleasant, but during the walk to the center the wind can blow.
• Tickets:It is advisable to spend at least 60-90 minutes for viewing. Combined tickets for other museum objects are also available on site.
• Hidden Treasures:After the visit, climb to the nearby terrace — it offers a unique view of Tsarevets and the old town, ideal for panoramic photos.

How does it feel to be here?

Each hall is like a portal in time — from the soft light on the faces of the wax figures to the sounds of Tarnovo street, which are gently diffused by multimedia installations. It is a place where the past is not simply shown, but lived — with respect for history and attention to every detail.
