For the second year in a row, Elena will host its Art Week this September. This event is one of the top things to do in Veliko Tarnovo. It begins on September 13 with a concert-performance titled “Let’s Listen to Cinema.” The event features Hilda Kazasyan, Teodosii Spasov, and Vasil Petrov, along with the Pleven Philharmonic, conducted by Borislav Yotsov. This lineup will surely captivate the audience and is a must-see for visitors.
Wonder for things to do in Veliko Tarnovo region – here is one interesting idea.
In 2021, Valentin Dimitrov demonstrates and showcases various physical laws and chemical phenomena in a barn he transformed through his enterprising spirit. Nearly 30 products were exhibited then – a mock-up of an airplane wing profile, a pendulum clock mechanism, 3D puzzles, a frequency generator, a painting robot, a miniature organ, polyplast (a structure made of ropes with pulleys with a 20-kilogram weight attached to them, loads are lifted), Nikola Tesla’s coil, etc. The 64-year-old Valentin Dimitrov made the models with his own hands. He is also the tour guide in the museum and shows the visitors the magic of science. Usually the greatest interest is in the Archimedes screw, practically the first irrigation pump in history. Tour operators present the private Science Museum in Usoi with new exhibits as a destination.
