Archar (Bulgarian: Арчар) is a village in Bulgaria, located on the Archar river in the Vidin province.[2] In Roman times the town of Ratiaria, from which the name derives, has been an important port on the Danube.[3][4] The present day locality has been developing closer to the main road between Vidin and Lom. A fair is held in Archar on the first Saturday and Sunday of August.
