BULGARIA
If you have heard of Bulgaria before, there is a great possibility that the only thing you know about this Balkan gem is that it is a cheap travel destination. I even have friends who promote our country as a cheap destination and believe that this makes it justice for foreigners to visit. That’s a totally wrong way to make outsiders see and understand what Bulgaria truly is. Bulgaria is everything else but cheap. Here’s why.

Sofia Ballet experience can be one of the most unexpected and certainly pleasant ways to discover the Bulgaria’s capital.
When I was invited by Hotel Lucky Bansko Spa and Relax to visit them and write a hotel review, I had mixed feelings. I considered I already knew everything about the area and didn’t think I will find something new and original to write about. Now, after my weekend in the ski capital of Bulgaria, I can honestly say that your holidays in Bansko Bulgaria can be surprisingly packed with activities in every season.
There are about 30 monasteries around Sofi; a visit to each of them combines both a lovely walk and a touch with the history.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m not a mountain junkie, hiking guru or adventure travel blogger. I’m a simple woman who likes culture travel and indulge in concerts, fashion, and other similar activities. But I went on an off-the-beaten-path hiking in Bulgaria, and I loved it!

In the middle of Bulgaria, located in the Chepino Valley, part of the mythical Rhodope Mountains, lays the spa capital of the Balkan region. The name of Velingrad is well known among people who look for a cure and relax but we discovered that there is so much more than the 80 mineral water springs and beautiful nature around Velingrad…
Why visit the Dancing Bears Park, I hear you saying?
Bulgarian seaside has much to offer to the eager for sand and sun tourist – beautiful beaches, historical towns, affordable prices and … large crowds in summer. This is especially true in the southern part of the coast line. But not in the North! Those who plan to visit Kavarna and its surroundings have a lot to gain.
In my country there is a saying: “To grab the green”. Its meaning is that at the time when we can start consuming lettuce (which natural growing period is spring and summer not year round!) the winter is over and with it the abundance of food and happiness begins…
Sofia is underrated destination. Many travelers come here with the main reason to save money because Bulgaria is one of the most affordable countries in Europe. And when they finally arrive in Sofia they are inevitably surprised by the vivid life and multicultural face of the city.

I am a Bulgarian. And like all Bulgarians I love Shopska salad. It is the traditional and emblematic dish that no one other of the neighboring countries can claim to own it.

Bulgaria is an affordable destination by all means but you can save even more money by using these tips. These Sofia free activities are something you can do all year round and more importantly – where you will find many locals too…
