Bulgaria: Updates & Travel

Travel in Bulgaria?

  • Although Bulgaria was under Ottoman rule in the fourteenth century and was hidden behind the Iron Curtain in the twentieth century, it has not lost its old beauty. Be seduced by the beaches, charmed by the monasteries or go on a sporty hiking tour. Public transport is cheap and the people are friendly.
  • Make a hiking tour through the Rila Mountains to the Rila Monastery. The tour takes a few days, but the route is beautiful and the special monastery is more than worth it.
  • Visit one of the three National Parks that Bulgaria has and spot brown bears, wolves and reindeer.
  • Spend a day in Hisar where you can relax in the 22 thermal springs.
  • Put on your sports shoes and go mountain biking or rock climbing in Veliko Tarnovo.
  • Discover the Devil's Throat near the city of Devin. This cave has an impressive waterfall that you should not miss. JoHotspots Bulgaria
