Ruse is a cosmopolitan city at a crossroads. Throughout the ages, each culture has left an imprint on a variety of cultural strata. The spirit of the city, however, has always remained unchanged, everlasting and free like the Danube river.
Ruse is the largest Bulgarian city on the Danube River and the most significant transport, logistics, business and cultural centre of Northern Bulgaria.
The city welcomes its guests with an impressive architectural heritage inspired by the progressive European spirit of its citizens. Ruse invited eminent European architects at the turn of the 20th century
to build the architectural environment of the city. Today, dozens of heritage-listed buildings have the European Heritage label.
