Currently, access to the centre is free of charge, making it an accessible cultural experience.
This attraction is best suited for history enthusiasts, archaeology buffs, and those interested in local culture. It's also a good option for travelers seeking a unique and off-the-beaten-path experience.
Spring and autumn offer pleasant weather for exploring both the centre and the nearby Baba Vidin Fortress.
