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.

Put on your sports shoes and go mountain biking or rock climbing in Veliko Tarnovo.
