Scenically situated on the banks of the Danube River, this small Bulgarian town is home to the famous Baba Vida fortress.

Vidin is a port town on the southern bank of the Danube in north-western Bulgaria. It is close to the borders with Romania and Serbia, and is the regional administrative center, as well as an agricultural and trade center. Additionally, Vidin has a fertile hinterland renowned for its wines. This town maintains a well-preserved medieval fortress, Baba Vida, as well as many old Orthodox churches such as St Pantaleimon, St Petka (both 17th century), the 19C St Dimitar (Demetrius of Thessaloniki), and a number of old Renaissance buildings.

RoutePerfect was the answer we were looking for! The trip budget options and the the reviews of the hotels gave us a feeling for what to expect when we got there. Pricing was very manageable - we opted for a Moderate Trip, and we easily stayed within our own budget! The website was easy to use, auto or manual mode. The trip was made a lot easier by the simplified accommodation selection process and having our hotels pre-paid.

We used RoutePerfect to plan and book two trips touring Spain from the North to the South coasts and then back again between April and July, staying at 9 hotels in total. All were good to excellent with very straightforward check-in, accepting our voucher with no problems. The website is excellent as a totally flexible planning tool and the staff were very efficient and helpful when we made a mistake with dates and had to phone to make a change. We would highly recommend RoutePerfect and would certainly use them again.
