Ruse, located on the northern side of Bulgaria, is a majestic town adorned with distinct neo-baroque and neo-rococo architecture, huddled on the banks of the Danube River. Often referred to as "Little Vienna", Ruse is best known for its nineteenth-century architectural grandeur, historical monuments such as the Freedom Monument, Rousse Opera House, and the Rousse TV Tower - the tallest in Bulgaria. Visitors can also access the compelling Rock-Hewn Churches of Ivanovo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, located nearby. Additionally, Ruse is the gateway to Romania via the Friendship Bridge, making it a crucial transport, economic, and cultural hub of Northern Bulgaria.
