About Ruse
Ruse is a Danube river port in northern Bulgaria, across the water from Romania, known for its nineteenth-century townhouses and its long steel bridge.
Ruse stands on a high bank of the Danube, where the river marks the border with Romania. Its streets hold many merchant houses from the nineteenth century, when the town grew rich on river trade, and it is often called Little Vienna for its architecture. The Friendship Bridge, a long steel road and rail bridge, links it with Giurgiu in Romania. The Nobel prize-winning writer Elias Canetti was born in the town.
