Bulgaria is a small country situated in the eastern part of Europe. It boasts an ancient history, a rich cultural heritage and a plethora of monuments. With pleasant weather and wonderful resorts both in the mountains and at the seaside, along the Black Sea coast you'll find Sunny Beach, Nessabar and Golden Sands, while Bansko, Pamporovo and Borovets are famous wintertime destinations. Sofia, Plovdiv and Veliko Tarnovo are also worth a visit. The traditional cuisine has locally grown vegetables and fruits as the main staples. Tasting the much-celebrated Bulgarian wines is also a must.
