Once you reach the vicinity, follow local signs for Belgrad Castle. There might be parking available nearby, but check for any local parking fees.

• Public Transportation

  For those using public transportation, find the nearest bus or train station in your town. Take a bus to the nearest major city (like Ruse or Varna) that connects to the smaller towns around Belgrad Castle. From there, take a local bus or taxi to the castle. Be sure to check the bus schedules in advance, as they may vary, and allow extra time for transfers. The total journey can take approximately 2-3 hours depending on connections.

• Taxi

  If you prefer a more direct route without the hassle of public transport, consider booking a taxi from your location. Make sure to agree on a fare beforehand or confirm that the taxi operates on a meter. This option may be more costly but can save time and provide convenience. The ride duration will be similar to that of driving your own car, depending on traffic conditions.

This can be a great way to learn more about the historical significance of Belgrad Castle and its surroundings. Costs for a guide can vary, so it’s advisable to discuss rates beforehand.
