Tour of Lovech – one of the oldest settled places in Bulgaria and highlight from the Bulgarian Revival Period. You will see the old town and Varosha quarter – where are located the ethnographic complex and the Vasil Levski house museum. Lovech is known as the center of the Internal Revolutionary Organization of the revolutionary Vasil Levski (1837 – 1873) in his struggle for liberation from Ottoman rule.

Near the fortress is the monument to Vasil Levski. The covered bridge over the Osam River is the symbol of Lovech. The bridge connects the old and new parts of the city. It was built in 1872-1874 by the Renaissance master builder Kolyu Ficheto, and today it houses numerous shops where you can buy souvenirs. Stratesh Hill is another popular place for walks in Lovech. The hill has been turned into a recreational park, and is home to the Lovech Zoo.
