Rousse

rousse | the economic center on the Danube

Rousse is situated on the Danube River in the north-eastern part of the country, and sometimes referred to as “Little Vienna” because of its distinctive architecture which resembles the one of the Austrian capital. Being one of the most important trade and cultural centers of the country in the past, it continues to be a major economic center in the region, the main driver of commercial and industrial development, as well as an early adopter of new trends in all aspects of life. Thanks to its good transport connections via road, rail, and river, the city is a natural gateway to Northern and Central europe, the Baltics, Russia, and the Mediterranean region which makes Rousse attractive both to businesses as well as tourists.

The prominent Danube Bridge, which is currently the only bridge between Bulgaria and Romania, is also located in Rousse, providing for intensive traffic between the two countries, thus, increasing local retail demand.

Rousse

grand Plaza enjoys an excellent downtown location at the most traffic intensive crossroad in the city – the one of two major boulevards in the center of Rousse – Tsar osvoboditel Boulevard and Lipnik Boulevard. The latter forms oborishte square, which is a popular place for the citizens of Rousse for walking, meeting, and organizing various city events. The site is easily accessible by foot, car, and public transportation with trolley and bus lines servicing the mall area.

The close proximity to the pedestrian area and Bulgaria Boulevard (which supplies direct access to the international roads e70 and e85) provides for intensive car and pedestrian traffic around grand Plaza throughout the week. The high visibility and convenient access, complemented with adjacent retailers such as Mr. Bricolage, Praktiker, and kaufland, makes the grand Plaza complex into a destination point which attracts visitors for shopping, leisure, entertainment, business, and accommodation.
