Introducing Karlovo
Historic Karlovo, nestled in the foothills of the Stara Planina roughly equidistant from Koprivshtitsa and Kazanlâk, is not just another appealing mountain town full of National Revival–era architecture and antiquated churches; it’s also venerated as the birthplace of Vasil Levski, the leader of the revolution against the Turks in the early 1870s. Although this historic link is everywhere in Karlovo, most (non-Bulgarian, at least) visitors will be rather more inspired by the town’s placid atmosphere, churches and classic architecture.
