Opalchenska street was one of the most neglected streets in Veliko Tarnovo both in terms of its condition and the buildings located on it. However, the street’s appearance is about to change.

Veliko Tarnovo will host the royal train of Prince Ferdinand after 110 years
After 110 years, Prince Ferdinand arrives again with the royal train at the Trapezitsa station in Veliko Tarnovo. The Bulgarian ruler together with the Prime Minister Alexander Malinov and the officials will be greeted by the Mayor. The Manifesto for declaring the independence of Bulgaria will be read there. Then Prince Ferdinand will be declared a Bulgarian king.
The new shopping centre Veliko Tarnovo will include a 3-story complex with an underground parking and a big cinema.
The owner of the cultural complex “Poltava” Velichko Minev is currently clearing some of the dangerous elements of the facade, where the cinema had been up until years ago, waiting to get the proper construction permit to completely rebuild Poltava. According to Minev the work that needs to be done will take around a year or so. He has plans to build an underground parking on 3 or even 4 levels if the terrain allows. As anyone living in Tarnovo knows parking in this town is extremely hard so a new parking will definitely come in handy. Besides an underground parking the complex will most likely include a cinema, as well as a few well-known retail chains.
There will be a Banitsa fest in Karantsi, a village in the Veliko Tarnovo district on 11th of August.
The banitsa is a traditional Bulgarian bakery, which consists of rolled up or layered sheets of loose dough with stuffing between them. Various fillings are used – most often cheese or cottage cheese, with or without added eggs. The dish can also be made with vegetables, meat, fruits and so on. It is usually baked in an oven.
