Shemshevo (Bulgarian: Шемшево) is a village in northern Bulgaria, part of Veliko Tarnovo Municipality, Veliko Tarnovo Province. Shemshevo village is located on the left bank of the Yantra River about four kilometers west of the town of Veliko Tarnovo. Its land features diverse terrain with varying altitudes - from 130 m for the low lowlands to 210 meters in the southern part of the village. The population of the village is 579 people.[1] The majority of the population is between 35 and 55 years old.[2]

In recent years many young families with small children have made their home here. They are attracted by village's proximity to the municipal center Veliko Tarnovo and convenient transportation to the city. The village's peaceful and quiet atmosphere, plenty of fresh air and many places for walking in the mountains or along the river make it suitable for raising children.
