If you’re travelling to Vidin in North West Bulgaria, we definitely recommend a visit to Baba Vida, a historic medieval fortress.

Built in the 10th century on the river Danube as a defensive installation, it’s remains the only fully preserved medieval castle in the Bulgaria.

The fortress is often used for film shoots which is an indication of it’s beauty.

The Museum and activities are great for everyone including families with childrens. There is also a theatre stage used for plays in the summer and the castle is beautifully lit in the evenings.

These photographs were taken by our friend Plamen Angelov who published them on his blog. You can see these photographs and more on uniquetravelphotos.blogspot.com.
