Holy Forty Martyrs Church is one of the landmarks of Veliko Turnovo, listed as a museum and set in the historic core on the hills above the Yantra River. Visitors come to see the church and to take in the old town around it, where cobbled streets, craft shops and traditional restaurants form a maze that most people explore on foot. The Tsarevets and Trapezitsa fortresses dominate the skyline and the river loops below the cliffs, so the church sits inside the most atmospheric part of the city. The surrounding streets are part of the city's main attractions, which is why so many people choose to stay within a short walk of this spot rather than across the river. Veliko Turnovo is also a university city and a cultural hub, hosting light and sound shows at Tsarevets and festivals through the year, so the area around the church draws both sightseers and locals.
