Here's Why You Should Visit Bulgaria!


Deciding where to go on holiday every year can be quite a tough decision since there are so many fantastic destinations to choose from! Bulgaria is becoming a hot spot for you sun seekers, and although it’s not as well-known as the Greek or Spanish destinations, that’s due to change over the next few years.

 The excellent black sea resorts offer beach-side hotels which lie amongst the golden sands of the beautiful Bulgarian coastline. Below we've highlighted some of Bulgaria’s best attractions, including the most popular resort, Sunny Beach!


Sofia

Sofia is Bulgaria’s famous Capital and lies at the bottom of the popular ski mountain, Vitosha. There is a lot of opportunity for some great sightseeing in Sofia, as it is enriched with history and culture. Go for a casual stroll along the delightful little streets of the city centre, take a relaxing break in one of the capital’s green parks, or stop off for some refreshments in one of the many charming restaurants or taverns.


Sunny Beach and Nessebar

Sunny Beach is a lively holiday resort situated on Bulgaria’s Black Sea coastline. This modern town is made up of brand new restaurants and bars, and not forgetting the totally unspoilt beach which runs alongside it. The beach is made up of golden sands, and there is the biggest range of water sports to choose from – perfect for a fun filled afternoon! This holiday destination is great for anyone seeking more liveliness and activity as there’s so much to do during the day, and plenty of bars and nightclubs to choose from at night!

If you’re one for a bit of total relaxation and history, the old town Nessebar is just a fifteen minute drive away from Sunny Beach.  This UNESCO-listed town was founded by the Thracians, before the Greeks and Romans put up temples for Apollo. The splendid old quarter is under a preservation order as a living museum town, housing the remains of 40 churches from different periods of history. The narrow cobbled streets and old houses make Nessebar holidays an ideal way for families to relax and experience a traditional Bulgarian setting.


The Cuisine

In the more popular resorts you will find a selection of foods on the menu to suit all tastes.  If you’re heading into the more traditional Bulgaria, make sure you try the Bulgarian recipes such as; hopska Salad, banitsa, kebabche, kyufte, and lyutenitsa  - these are all worth trying if you want a taste of the traditional Bulgarian cuisine. There are many restaurants and tavern’s to choose from, and they’ll be delighted to treat you to their own recipes!


Nightlife

Listening to live music is one of many popular things to do in Bulgaria, as many of the hotels, restaurants and bars thrive off hosting popular live performances.

If you’re on a friend’s holiday and want to hit the nightclubs, Sunny Beach has many popular bars and clubs which are open until late. If you’re staying in Bulgaria’s Sofia, try Sweik and Chevermoto, as these are the popular party places!


Scenery

Bulgaria is known for its spectacular scenery and it offers many great walking trails, beautiful high - peaks, and large lakes with breath-taking views. If you are one for adventure and enjoy hiking, look no further than Bulgaria! If you prefer to relax but still want to enjoy some scenery, take a drive through the mountains and stop off at one of the many pleasant restaurants.
