Guided Tour: Echoes of the Past and a Glimpse into the Future

A favorite event is once again delighting the residents and guests of the city, this time just a day after the feast of Saint Nicholas of Myra. On December 7th, Sunday, for the third consecutive year, the students from the "Tour Guide Services" specialty at the Secondary School "Bishop Konstantin Preslavski" will transform into tour guides, led by their teacher of theory and practice, Nikolina Dimitrova. The event is open to all who wish to attend from the city and its guests and, importantly, is completely free.

The event, whose organization is already a tradition, this year carries the name "Echoes of the Past - A Look to the Future". It will offer participants two different routes, each of which promises to reveal different aspects of the rich heritage and future of the city.

The first route, which will take visitors on a journey through time, will cover emblematic places such as the Clock Tower, the Compass, the cathedral "St. St. Cyril and Methodius", and the Ethnographic Museum. This tour is focused on history and cultural landmarks, offering a look at the past that has shaped the modern appearance of the city. The atmosphere around, in front of the Clock Tower, even in the early hours of the day will be filled with eager anticipation. Dozens of people will gather in the square, and the air will be filled with excitement.

The second walking tour, on the contrary, will focus on the prospects for the development of the city, highlighting its connection with the Black Sea. The route will pass by landmarks such as the "Mushroom", the Pushkin monument in the Sea Garden, the Cultural Center "Sea Casino", and the Lighthouse Keeper's Tower. This tour will be a unique look into the future and will emphasize the city's candidacy for European Capital of Culture in 2032.

The meeting point for the first route on Sunday will be, as usual, the Clock Tower. The organizers have planned two convenient time slots for starting the tour: 10:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m.

The second tour will start at 12:00 p.m. from the "Mushroom".
