Private tour to Soviet Submarine and Glass Museum from Veliko Tarnovo

Discover a captivating mix of naval heritage, traditional artistry, and ancient history on a full-day journey from Veliko Tarnovo to Bulgaria’s Black Sea region.

The experience begins at the Slava Submarine Museum, where you step aboard Bulgaria’s only preserved submarine. Walk through its tight passageways, command stations, and crew quarters while learning about life underwater and the country’s naval history during the 20th century.

Continue to the Glass Museum Beloslav, where master craftsmen demonstrate traditional glassblowing techniques. Watch molten glass transformed into elegant shapes, explore displays of handmade works, and browse unique souvenirs created on site.

During the summer season, you may also visit the Provadia Saltworks, one of Europe’s oldest salt-production centres. This remarkable archaeological complex reveals how salt once functioned as a precious commodity that supported early civilisations thousands of years ago.

Scenic countryside drives and engaging commentary throughout the day tie together maritime stories, artisan traditions, and prehistoric discoveries, creating a varied and memorable cultural experience.
