Vidin - Bulgaria - 2014

We visited Bulgaria on our 48-day Melbourne – Dubai – Dublin – Ireland – Amsterdam –
Rhine-Main-Danube River cruise – Istanbul – Dubai - Melbourne trip in June 2014.
On day 23 of our 27-day Rhine-Danube River cruise we docked at Vindin.
We spent 3 days in Bulgaria.


Vidin is a city on the banks of the Danube River in Bulgaria.
In the Soviet times there were large telecommunications factories.
However they have been abandoned since the collapse of the Eastern Bloc in 1991.







Like many places along the Danube River, Vidin has been under Roman, Ottoman and Hungarian rule in the past.
