The ultimate arrival: Visit this charming riverside town on Viking's Capitals of Eastern Europe river journey.
Destination highlights: The Baba Vida Fortress is a 10th-century defensive structure built in the Middle Ages and is the symbol of Vidin. It is the only entirely preserved medieval castle in Bulgaria. The "Triangle of Tolerance" includes the St Nicholas Orthodox Church, the neo-Gothic Vidin Synagogue and the beautifully preserved Osman Pazvantoglu Mosque.
Do not miss: The Belogradchik Rocks. Geography helped create this architectural treasure. With their red-hued cliffs and massifs, these mountains strike a dramatic pose. The result of millennia of weathering, river erosion and freezing, these formations are Bulgaria's great natural wonder.
