Shumen, a city in northeastern Bulgaria, is known for the large Monument to 1300 Years of Bulgaria that looms over the city, its proximity to two medieval Bulgarian capitals at Pliska and Preslav, and the nearby Madara Rider, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The walkable centre has a good spread of cafés and restaurants, and the wider region carries a substantial concentration of early Bulgarian history.
