The antiquities are very neglected and poorly maintained. On the territory of the reserve there are several completely inappropriate and very noisy restaurants that spoil the wonderful natural atmosphere. Illegal sports bike races take place regularly along the main tourist strip.

Real medieval fortress. Old capital of Bulgaria. Looks like there was something in ancient Roman times too. Though quite destroyed. If you're going to visit this place, consider looking through the program of events. There are several events over the year which local history reconstructors provide. They get dressed up in historical costumes. Arms, swords, arrows, parchment, medieval food and everything of that kind. Without them, the place is not so interesting.

It's unfortunate that this place is not well known. Preslav is a major contributor to Slavic and Christian history in europe. Also a major player with the Byzantine and Ottoman empires. This place is still being excavated. It's not well labeled what is reconstruction and what is original. However, still very fascinating and hopefully the site continues to be developed over the next 100 years. Very historically significant location. Some minor safety hazards - steps that may come loose and easy to fall off high places - just be mindful.

Great place to visit. Easy to reach by car. Best to visit the museum with the model& treasure first. You can roam around freely. Unfortunately not to many signs, explanations or guide avaiable.

Loved it! Typical Balkan archeological site with no guides, no ropes barring you from touching, and really no rules at all. You're allowed to walk, climb and see as you wish. The entry is 6 lev (3 usd) per person and covers all 3 sites and the museum. There a small cafe with beer and soft drinks. Plenty of cherry trees to snack on fresh cherries during spring and summer.
