Bulgaria
Bulgaria, a country in the Balkans area of Southeastern Europe, once firmly hidden behind the iron curtain, was lesser known amongst western travellers. But, after its borders fully opened in 1989, tourists from far and wide have been drawn to visit Bulgaria after it was no longer shrouded in mystery. From the sandy shores of its idyllic Black Sea coast to the country’s excellent skiing opportunities amidst its snowcapped mountain ranges, there is so much to a trip to Bulgaria, and more than may initially meet the eye.
For one, the country boasts two fascinating large cities, the first of which is the magnificent capital of Sofia with its imposing and impressive mountainous landscapes, and the second being the ancient settlement and cultural hotspot of Plovdiv.
And beyond these popular Bulgaria destinations, the country also offers endless historic sites and archaeological marvels and is alive with tiny hillside villages dotted throughout its stretching lands whose residents open their arms to visitors willing to explore their timeless societies.
Walk in the footsteps of some of history’s greatest powerhouses here in one of Europe’s oldest countries, and you might just be surprised by what you uncover during your next trip to Bulgaria.
