Bulgaria Travel Tips

The Balkan nation of Bulgaria offers a blend of nature and history. Here, the mighty Danube winds past towering mountains and dense forests to the shores of the Black Sea. Bulgaria’s cities offer a glimpse of the country’s history, with a variety of ornate churches and religious art.

Veliko Tarnovo, the ‘City of Tsars,’ is one of Bulgaria’s most breathtaking towns, with cliff-hanging houses overlooking lush green landscapes. The UNESCO listed town of Arbanassi is another highlight, where the preserved homes of 17th-century merchants offer a glimpse of what life was like in the past. And the craggy Balkan Mountains provide delightful scenery as you travel toward to the capital, Sofia, ‘the city that grows but never ages.’
