Discover Bulgaria - the perfect destination for the independent traveller who loves adventure! Hike in the Rila Mountains, soak in the curative mineral springs or sun yourself by the Black Sea...
At the crossroads of Europe, cresting the Balkan Peninsula and facing the Black Sea, Bulgaria has a long and colourful history. Nomads and merchants, conquerors and settlers have left their footprints in Bulgaria's soil, but sadly it has often been forgotten or ignored by travellers. For over 40 years as a member of the Soviet Bloc, Bulgaria remained little known and difficult to visit. But in 1990, it put paid to its communist past and turned its gaze towards Western Europe.
