Every last Thursday of the month you can visit Tsarevets and Trapezitsa Fortresses in Veliko Tarnovo for free. If on such days visitors prefer to use the hillside tram to get to Trapezitsa they will have to pay just the price for the ride which is 10 leva (return ticket) or 5 leva for disabled people.
The inclined elevator departs from the base station at 9.00; 9.40; 10.20; 11.00; 11.40; 1.00; 1.40; 2.20; 3.00; 3.40; 4.10 and returns from the top at 9.20; 10.00; 10.40; 11.20; 12.00; 1.20; 2.00; 2.40; 3.20; 4.00; 4.30. The tram operates from Tuesday to Sunday at temperatures between 5 and 35 degrees Celsius. Preventive maintenance will be done every Mondays so the lift won’t be working then.

On September, 30th, Veliko Tarnovo will offer its citizens and guests the experience of an open air cinema. The parking for repatriated vehicles at the foot of Tsarevets Hill will host the event. There will be three projections starting at 7 pm, 8.30 pm and 10 pm. The movies which you can see are Ice Age: Collision Course and the Bulgarian flicks Karatsi (Losers) and 11 A. Maybe your Bulgarian is not so good but you can savour the atmosphere and enjoy a niece movie under the starry skies. The parking only fits around 50-60 cars for each projection so make sure you get your tickets on time.
