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.
This Riu Pravets hotel review does not have the purpose to convince you should stay in this hotel. My goal is to show you the atmosphere and the very special things that make this spa and golf resort in the Bulgarian countryside such a unique and wonderful place for a short vacation.
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!
Bulgaria may be popular as the most affordable destination within the borders of the European Union, but luxury travel in Bulgaria exists and it is packed in an original and somewhat unique ‘packaging’…
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?
This wasn’t a usual family weekend. An offroad adventure with Land Rover is never ‘usual’, especially when shared with our friends from Land Rover Enthusiasts – Bulgaria.
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.
Bulgarian travel bloggers shared their special, less known places with you and I am sure you will feel touched by the uniqueness of the Bulgarian nature and culture.
To understand Bulgaria you HAVE TO spend some time in Plovdiv, its old but also new cultural capital and one of the oldest cities in world…
Razlog is one of the most beautiful small towns in Bulgaria – it is perfect for a trip for skiing, tasting traditional food or just relaxing…
Sofia by night is a beautiful place to discover. It is not because it is where I live. It’s more because of its rather provincial than metropolitan charm…
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. The Balkan countries are mixture of similar culture due to their common historical past. This can be said about the cuisine as well.
