Tourism in Bulgaria



Situated in the heart of the Balkan Peninsula in southeastern Europe, Bulgaria is a crossroad of the major tourist routes from Western Europe to Istanbul and the Middle East on one hand, and from Northern Europe to the Eastern Mediterranean on the other. It borders to the north with Romania, to the west with Yugoslavia and Macedonia, to the south - with Greece and Turkey and to the East - with the Black Sea. The beautiful scenery, the ancient historical sites and the crossroad situation of the country between the Orient and Europe have been attracting travellers since ancient times. Travel notes left by German, Austrian and Arab authors offer a rich source of evidence for the life in the Bulgarian lands. At present Bulgaria develops as a country of tourism. Despite its comparatively small territory, the variety of treasures of nature is exceptional.

Bulgaria offers various opportunities to spend your time in a diverse manner and take home with you numerous memorable experiences. Bulgarian nature impresses with a wide variety of landscapes and natural phenomena. The Black Sea coastline affords splendid possibilities for a relaxing or, depending on your wishes and preferences, an active vacation on the beach. The inland holds out a number of opportunities for you to discover. According to their particular interests, tourists may go skiing - with mountain transfers, organised for them in well-preserved mountain regions.
