Archar (Bulgarian: Арчар) is a village in Bulgaria, located on the Archar river in the Vidin Province. In Roman times the town of Ratiaria, from which the name derives, has been an important port on the Danube. The present day locality has been developing closer to the main road between Vidin and Lom.
