Enjoy Sunny Beach
The little-known Black Sea coast is home to tourist paradises like this old spa from the socialist era, well located for visiting cultural gems like Nessebar or Sozopol.
Nessebar
With over 3,000 years of history and an unusual location on a small peninsula, the ancient city of Mesembria has witnessed — and traded with — many civilisations, from the Thracians to the Ottomans.
Trip to Burgas
The country’s main coastal town, a gateway to more tourist-oriented locations such as Nessebar and Sozopol, has a lot to offer those willing to explore it.
Black sea beaches
The 400 kilometres of the Balkan country’s coastline are home to everything from holiday paradises like Sunny Beach and Golden Sands, to wild and almost untouched places like Bolata Beach and Veleka Beach.
Trip to Veliko Tarnovo
Overlooking the Yantra River with its picturesque hanging houses, the “City of the Tsars” is renowned for its architecture and historic ambience of what was once the ancient capital of Bulgaria.
Partying in Sunny Beach
Enjoy a night (or several) at Bulgaria’s liveliest destination, where you can choose from legendary clubs such as Cacao Beach Club, a range of other beach clubs, boat parties and big electronic festivals like Solar Summer Festival.
Visit to Sofia
Bulgaria’s capital city, one of Europe’s oldest cities, is a fascinating cultural crossroads where the Soviet influence coexists with Christian Orthodox architecture, churches from the Byzantine period, Ottoman mosques, and Sephardic synagogues.
Enjoy the traditional bulgarian food
Bulgarian food combines fresh ingredients, centuries-old traditions and a blend of Balkan, Mediterranean and Eastern influences. From refreshing tarator to irresistible banitsa, each dish tells a unique story of the country.
Rila Monastery
The largest Orthodox monastery in the country, founded in the 10th century by Saint John of Rila in an incomparable setting, is a gateway to Bulgaria's essence.
Seven Rila Lakes
Tucked away at an altitude of over 2,000 metres at Rila National Park, these glacial lakes arranged in a staircase form one of the most beautiful hiking trails in the country.
