THE OLD TOWN OF VELIKO TARNOVO TO BE A PEDESTRIAN IN THE OLD TOWN OF VELIKO TARNOVO

THE OLD CAPITAL Veliko Tarnovo is a town in the north of Bulgaria and serves as the administrative center of Veliko Tarnovo municipality. It is situated in the valley of the Yantra River, at a distance of 241 km from the capital – Sofia.

It is not accidental that Veliko Tarnovo was declared Balkan capital of cultural tourism, and a few times it was awarded the prize “The Most Beautiful Town” in Bulgaria, as a result of an annual media survey. The town is really magnificent with its beautiful houses, perching amphitheatrically along the river banks; it has a rich history of landmarks that are attractive to the guests.

Problems of the urban environment which must be solved for good One of the major problems in the town is the shortage of pedestrian walkways near the most visited landmarks. And if there is one, its color has more or less faded.

Problems of the urban environment which must be solved for good Another serious problem is the small number of traffic lights which causes the city to be filled with cars in the rush hours.

Problems of the urban environment which must be solved for good Potholes in the surface of the roads pose a third problem. They are many in the old part of the town and could cause car accidents, and even scarier things.

WHAT CAN BE DONE ? All those problems can be solved by the mayor of the city and its council. I believe that only when this is done will Veliko Tarnovo become one of the largest cultural centers on the Balkans.
