Leaves Bucharest at. 13.24 every day including Sundays and Public Holidays. In VT at 20.00. Does anybody know if there is a bus or another train we will miss this train as we don't arrive until 13:30 if the plane arrives on time.

Thanks for your input.

Hi,my partner and I hope to take a return train journey from Istanbul to Veliko.I have tried to find prices and how to book on www bdz-rila.com but with no success.I am from Whitehaven,Cumbria and my idea to get to Veliko by the most economic ,and interesting route is to fly from Luton to Istambul via Easyjet and then catch the train to Veliko.I can get a return flight to Istambul for £125 but have no idea how much and how easy it is to travel onward by train.

Hi everyone

Me and my Husband will be travelling to Veliko Turnovo and staying at the Villa Tashkoff in April. Anyone ever stayed there? We are very interested in buying an apartment in Veliko has it sounds and looks like a beautiful place. Are there any areas to avoid? Would be grateful for any information. Thanks.

Hi everyone

This is the first time I have used this forum. I'm after some information about the Kartala region of Veliko Turnovo. Me and my husband are seriously thinking of buying an apartment there and it will be finished June 2007. We have been in touch with property agents here in England, but it is unclear to us exactly where the apartments are being built. I have shown a colleague the building plans (which are in Bulgarian) and he says that there is a mention on the plans of a 'railway road' he thinks. Anybody out there any ideas or tips on how to find out more information.

Cheers

Are there any direct buses running from Veliko Turnovo to Istanbul? What is the price of a return ticket?

Is the "light and Sound" show at Veliko's fortress performed in June? What is the schedule?

Thanks, Daniel

Hello,

I will be in Bucharest, Romania and wanted to make a visit to Veliko Turnovo. I have seen that it is relatively easy to get to Veliko Turnovo from Ruse, but was wondering if anyone can give me advice on the best way to travel from Bucharest to Veliko Turnovo. I assume I can take a train from Bucharest to the border, then change trains to go to Ruse then Velko Turnovo. Is it a difficult connection for someone who doesn't speak Bulgarian (or Romanian!)

Thanks,
Craig

Hello to anyone living or staying in Veliko Turnovo.
I am trying to find out where 'Tempo Pizza' is located in the town, i.e. street name.

I'm told it's just off the square, and the main street.. The reason I ask is that I'm thinking of buying an apartment near there and want to find the street on my town map.

Have searched the web, but although I can find Tempo pizza, there's no address.

Hope someone can help.

how long does it take to get to the black sea coast by public transport and private car. from Veliko.
Is there a Market?
nearest airport?

please
Best Wishes
John
