One of the 100 National Tourist Sites. Reaching it requires either a car, or using public transport (bus line 4). There's a small parking lot at the base of the hill, next to the bus stop and a restaurant; a dirt road leads to the ruins, and a hiking path (red markings) mostly follows the road, but then continues after the ruins to the Mladost Hut.

Борово око
An artificial pond next to a pine park (Borovets Park), hence the name (Pine Eye). The tree-lined alley around it is a pleasant place for a walk during the greener parts of the year. Large fish and water turtles have been introduced in the pond to control vegetation, and people feed them; there's also an inlet full of sonorous frogs. There's a restaurant with an open-air dining area partially overhanging the lake, built in the Communist era (see the Eat section).
The city's art gallery, named after a local artist. Notable mostly for being used as an exhibition hall during the city fair (see Events below).
Археологическа експозиция
Another former school building (built in 1907). Notable exhibits include a unique Copper Age set of figurines representing a religious scene, the Kralevo gold treasure, and the tools of a Roman surgeon/physician.
Simov was the flag-bearer of the rebels lead by Bulgarian national hero Hristo Botev during the April Uprising of 1876 and died in the fighting. Tiny two-room museum, pointless if you don't hear the whole story provided by the guide/curator; there's a nice scale model of the Radetzky, the river steamship commandeered by the rebels to deliver them to Kozloduy.
Stone church built in the 1850s, during the National Revival period, and still in use. The name refers to the Eastern Orthodox belief that Mary died in spiritual peace and was then resurrected and taken bodily into Heaven; the feast day of the Dormition is 15 August.
Захариева къща, Zaharieva kashta
The house of a merchant family, built in 1866. Now the administrative building of the museum, i.e. the ticket office.
