Ruse Summer Free Tour

The Tour

Ruse Summer Free Tour is a free walking tour held in English around the major historical sites in the central parts of Ruse, Bulgaria.

The city is known by many names among which the Small Vienna and the City of the First 100 Things in Bulgaria. It is the largest Bulgarian river port on the Danube and the hometown of the only (so far) Nobel Prize laureate born and raised in the country.

While nowadays it is multi-faceted and ever-changing, it preserves its stately and dignified looks of an early XX-century European urban zone. It used to attract a huge number of local and international architects, musicians, and entrepreneurs who turned it into the fast-developing area in country after the Liberation.

The guided walking tour was launched in July 2016 by a bunch of friends. We were all born and grew up here. We share a great passion for this beautiful and noble place, and are purely driven by enthusiasm. Our guides are locals and possess great knowledge about the landmarks. They will show you around and make sure you've learnt at least a couple of local legends to tell your friends upon your return!

Ruse has a lot of nice surprises in store for you, so just show up and make the most out of your time in the city!
