Travel to Bulgaria

Bulgaria's landscape and location give this Balkan nation a distinct advantage over some of its neighbours. The country's east boasts long sandy beaches along the Black Sea with several popular summer resorts. Varna and Burgas are considered Bulgaria's busiest beach destinations in the summer. In contrast, Bulgaria's southwestern mountainous terrain offers the perfect setting for skiing and other winter sports. If your ideal holiday includes staying in cozy lodges overlooking snow-capped mountains, Bulgaria's ski resorts are a great choice. Bansko, a popular ski resort, lies at the foot of the Pirin Mountains and is easily accessible from Bulgaria's capital Sofia.
