Entertainment: Vidin's main landmark is the Baba Vida fortress. It was built in the period from the 10th to the 14th century. It is the only completely preserved fortification facility in Bulgaria. Its foundations were laid at the end of the X century on top of one of the towers of the ancient town of Bononia. Its outlook was completed in the XIV century, when it was a castle of one of the last Bulgarian kings before the Ottoman rule.

Vidin offers a number of other interesting sights, such as the Krastata Kazarma ethnographic museum, the Turkish konak (police office) which was transformed in an architectural museum, the library of Osman Pazvantoglu, the art gallery, the Vidin Philharmonic Orchestra and the town’s theater.

A major part of the Vidin region is covered by the massifs of the Western Stara Planina (The Balkan Mountain Range) suitable for trekking tours.
