Bulgaria Travel Guide – What To See & Do

Our illustrated travel guide will take you to Bulgaria.

Bulgaria is a country in the Balkans on the western side of the Black Sea. It is surrounded by Romania to the north, Serbia to the northwest, the Republic of Macedonia to the southwest, Greece to the south, and Turkey to the southeast. Being located close to the Turkish Straits means the key land routes from Europe to Middle East and Asia pass through Bulgaria.

Bulgaria is one of the emerging tourist destinations of Europe, and it boasts state-of-the-art beaches, lovely churches and winter sports. During Communist times, the Black Sea was a favorite destination for travellers behind the Iron Curtain. Now, increasing numbers of western Europeans travel throughout the country and many have bought vacation houses near the Black Sea and in the picturesque Bulgarian countryside.
