Bordering such countries as Greece, Turkey and Romania, it is not easy for Bulgaria to be considered much of a player in the tourism industry, but in fact it is a country that contains some real gems in the forms of fantastically vibrant cities, amazing historical buildings and monuments and some of the most beautiful landscape in the Balkan states. Although Bulgaria has had a very troubled past, over recent years it has grown economically and evolved into a great get away destination offering cheap hotel rates and some of the best weather in Europe.

Bulgaria’s capital city, Sofia, is a city that has seen its fair share of military rulers over the years, though today that fate works in its favor with a great mix of architecture and historical buildings and monuments. Sofia sits at the foot of Mount Vitosha, a popular area for skiing and hiking in the region, though co-currently it also enjoys a humid continental climate with temperatures reaching an average of 28 degrees Celsius in the summer. Sofia is well known for its eclectic mix of night time amenities and has hosted a huge variety of international live music events over recent years, attracting some of the most popular artists in the world.

Varma is another of Bulgaria’s coolest cities, situated on the eastern edge of the country bordered by the Black Sea.
