Bulgaria is an often overlooked hidden gem in Europe that is made of towering peaks, long golden beaches, cultural delights, lush forests, untouched pastures, abandoned fortresses and charming cities. It is a mysterious land that doesn't get talked about nearly enough but offers affordable holidays that don't skimp on the incredible views and scenery or lack in things to see or do. As with many other countries in the surrounding area, Bulgaria is a place for both excellent ski holidays and beach breaks but it is also a place where old and new collide so that you could end up touring a preserved castle during the day and drinking in a bar tucked into a crumbling mansion that evening. One thing, however, is certain, there is something magical about Bulgaria that is sure to make you fall in love.

Sofia, the capital, is the largest city, and economic hub of Bulgaria and is a mixture of wonderful attractions and elements. Here you will find a vibrant historic centre, endless places to eat and drink, over 250 historic landmarks and monuments and mineral springs. Furthermore, due to its location at the base of Mount Vitosha, Sofia is a great spot to enjoy the best of urban and country pursuits, as you can easily spend your day hiking or skiing and your evening hitting the town. Plovdiv, meanwhile, is Europe's oldest city and is a lovely laidback and artsy town. It is best recommended by its many parks, ancient city, Roman amphitheater and "revival" style Bulgarian homes.
For those in search of a beach holiday, however, it is Bulgaria's Black Sea resorts that will suit best. They boast long, sandy beaches, turquoise seas, good weather, fresh air and better value than much of the rest of Europe. Resorts such as Primorsko and cities such as Varna and Burgas with beaches within minutes of their centres are popular but there are also still plenty of undiscovered coves north and south of the major hubs. Explorers can enjoy Bulgaria’s untamed landscapes, the trails and hizhas (hiking huts) across the stunning Stara Planina range, the ski fields in Bansko and adventure in Pirin National Park.
This is all but a drop in the ocean of adventure and fun that awaits in Bulgaria so be sure to consider this hidden gem for your next vacation.
