Holidays to Bulgaria

If you’re looking for a modern holiday with authentic beaches, take a holiday to Bulgaria as it offers both. With sunny summers and snow-filled winters, there is diversity everywhere you go here and plenty to do if you’re wanting to embark on a different adventure each day.

Beautiful Bulgaria has actually been named the cheapest country in the whole of Europe to visit. This is because it is one of the few countries left to change over to the Euro, instead of using the currency of the Bulgarian Lev.

A trip to Bulgaria is not complete without a taste of the local cuisine and distilled wine – Rakia, which will take your taste buds on a journey, as it really packs a punch. Bulgaria’s atmosphere, day and night is electric. There is a certain sociable aura about it that encourages holidaymakers to return over and over again each year. Don’t worry, even if you’re travelling alone, there will be a large group of other friendly tourists to socialise and dine with.

  • Shopping in Plovdiv

    For the shopping addicts, Bulgaria is the place to be. Craft shops, natural skincare products, original fashion finds and ornate jewellery pieces designed by locals, are just a few of the unique products you can find while shopping in Plovdiv. The true beauty of this stylish shopping area is appreciated by locals and tourists alike, being the oldest existing city in Europe.

  • Beautiful bridges

    As well as sunny beach resorts and fascinating shopping trips, Bulgaria is home to some of the most breathtaking bridges in Europe. For nature buffs, head to The Wonderful Bridges in the leafy Rhodope Mountains, where three natural bridges sit. Geranium covers these idyllic bridges and there is a truly tranquil atmosphere, perhaps because the bridge was formed by the remains of the marble cave, Aidarsko Dere and the surrounding cool blue river.
