Bulgaria, a bridge between Christian Europe and Muslim Turkey, is a country little known from a tourist point of view. But the tourist attractions of Bulgaria are many. Sofia, the state capital, is one of the most beautiful cities in Eastern Europe. The country has a particular history and culture.

In addition to the capital, the most developed tourist area is undoubtedly the coast along the Black Sea. Here there are renowned seaside resorts, full of beaches and nightlife, such as Varna, Sunny Beach, Golden Sands and Burgas.

However, the rest of the country is very interesting, offering references such as the beautiful Orthodox monasteries, magnificent natural settings, ancient medieval cities, and archaeological remains.

In Bulgaria there are interesting remains of Roman cities such as Plovdiv with its theater, aqueduct, stadium and odeon.
