travel42 Port Guide: Vidin

travel42 Professional Cruise Port of Call Review

The river port town of Vidin lies on the western banks of the Danube at the border with Romania. Vidin is about 124 mi/200 km north of Sofia.

Vidin is the site of the very large and impressive medieval Baba Vida Castle Fortress, a museum, and several churches and mosques of interest.

Just north of Vidin is a bridge across the Danube connecting Bulgaria and Romania. Fees are collected to cross the bridge in either direction, the cost dependent on the type of vehicle.
