Art Gallery
Just past the Hotel Lovech is the pokritiyat most (covered footbridge) – the Balkans’ only such structure. Built in 1872, and completely restored twice since, it once again features its original wooden design. Arts and crafts shops, as well as cafés, are found within. Passing the square beyond the bridge brings you to the Art Gallery, with works by local and other Bulgarian artists exhibited.

Ethnographical Museum
From near the art gallery, follow the cobblestoned ul Hristo Ivanov Golemia uphill about 100m to the Ethnographical Museum. The two mid-19th-century buildings contain fascinating exhibits and period furniture, plus a cellar full of wine-making equipment. Leaflets with explanations in English, French or German are available.

Hisar Fortress
Extensive ruins of the Hisar Fortress are visible from all over the old town. Here the treaty with the Turks that lead to the creation of the Second Bulgarian Empire was signed. There are great views from the fortress, which is fun to explore. From Varosha, it’s a 10- to 15-minute uphill walk.

Mehana Billaya
Up the cobbled street from the Gallereya, the Billaya is equally atmospheric, if you don’t mind the loud live music during the evenings.
