Parking in Veliko Tarnovo: You’ll do fine with a little patience! 🙂

- Free parking: The city is safe, and there are many cars with foreign registrations, so don’t worry about leaving your vehicle.

2) You can park for free on Kraybrezhna Street or some of the inner streets of the neighborhood.
Almost the entire Kraybrezhna Street (marked in red) is free and open for parking, and practically, there are always plenty of spaces available. Streets Iordan Indzheto and Hristo Ivanov – Voyvodata are also free for parking, but often fewer spaces are available there. Almost all other streets in the neighborhood are free to park, but occasionally, an older resident might argue that the spot in front of their house is theirs, which is not true in reality, but it’s an unpleasant experience you’d want to avoid.

Almost all other streets in the neighborhood are free to park, but once in a while some old folk may start arguing that the place in front of their house is theirs, while in reality it is not, but still you don’t want this unpleasant experience.
3) You can use the paid street parking – Blue Zone

4) You can park freely and for free by the Asenevtsi Dynasty Monument.
Precisely because it’s a bit off the beaten path to get there, you can always find completely free parking spaces. People with campers also like to stop there. Once parked, you’re practically in the city center, passing through the pedestrian bridge „Stambolov,“ while from the „Asen Dynasty“ monument, one of the most beautiful views of Veliko Tarnovo unfolds.
