Eco-Friendly Hotels in Razgrad — Your 2026 Guide to Sustainable Stays
Razgrad is a quiet agricultural town in Bulgaria's Ludogorie region that rewards travellers who like their history unpolished. The Abritus Archaeological Reserve — the ruins of a fortified Roman city from the 4th century — sits right inside the modern town, its defensive walls and mosaic-floored basilica visible among suburban houses. A few streets away, the Varosha quarter preserves 19th-century Bulgarian Revival houses with carved wooden verandas, while the surrounding Ludogorie Plateau rolls out in beech forest, vineyards, and stork-nesting villages. The town is compact enough to cover on foot in a day, and hotel rooms start around €28 a night. Book through IMPT and every Razgrad night retires 1 tonne of UN-verified carbon credits on Ethereum — 28 times your stay's footprint — at the same price as Booking.com, with €5 free credit for new members.
Razgrad's Roman and Revival Heritage
Start at the Abritus Archaeological Reserve, 6 hectares of Roman municipium that flourished between the 2nd and 4th centuries AD. The fortified walls once carried 35 towers; today you can walk the exposed foundations of the forum, a Roman bathhouse, and an early Christian basilica with mosaic floors. The on-site museum displays the Abritus Treasure — a hoard of 4th-century gold coins found in 1961 — alongside everyday pottery and jewellery from the site.
Ten minutes away, the Varosha quarter is one of the best-preserved Bulgarian Revival neighbourhoods outside Plovdiv and Koprivshtitsa. Cobblestone lanes wind past two-storey houses painted ochre and pale blue, the 19th-century St Nicholas Church anchors the district, and the Varosha Ethnographic Museum shows how Ludogorie families lived — looms, costumes, and household tools in a restored Revival mansion. The quarter is pedestrian-only, so mornings here are genuinely quiet.
Wrap the day at Abritus Park, a shaded green corridor between the ruins and the centre, with a small lake, pedal boats, and walking paths. The town's mehanas (traditional taverns) serve grilled meats, shopska salad, and local wines at prices far below Sofia's.

Nature Around Razgrad — The Ludogorie Plateau
The Ludogorie region around Razgrad is a landscape of gentle wooded hills, small rivers, and open grassland. The Pororim Reserve, 15 km north, protects old-growth beech forest and is a reliable birdwatching spot — white storks, black kites, and European honey buzzards are all regularly seen, and the villages between Razgrad and Pororim are famous for storks nesting on their rooftops. The Belyana Reserve, to the east, shelters wild boar, deer, and the rare European souslik (a ground squirrel).
Razgrad is also the gateway to the region's wine country. The nearby villages around Senovo and Zavet grow grapes on the same calcareous soils that made Bulgaria's northern wine region famous, and several small wineries offer tastings by appointment. The town market sells honey, herbs, and seasonal vegetables from Ludogorie farms — a low-carbon way to eat well.
For IMPT travellers, Razgrad is a genuinely low-impact destination: a walkable town, regional food, and modest hotels. The 1-tonne removal per booking makes an already-light footprint deeply carbon-negative.
How IMPT Makes Your Razgrad Stay Carbon-Negative
Here's the maths. An average hotel night produces roughly 35 kg of CO₂ — from air conditioning, laundry, lighting, and food service. When you book any Razgrad hotel through IMPT, we retire 1,000 kg of UN-verified carbon removal credits. That's 28 times what your stay produces. Not carbon-neutral — carbon-negative.
The cost to you? Zero. IMPT funds the removal from its booking commission. You pay the standard nightly rate — in fact, IMPT offers the same price as Booking.com on the same room, with carbon removal built in. The carbon credits are tokenised on Ethereum, retired against a named project, with a public retire code anyone can verify. No double-counting. No greenwashing. Just verified carbon removal, every night.
