Holiday Packages w/ Airfare, Hotel & Tours to Bulgaria
An average flight time from England to Bulgaria is around three hours, depending on which airport you are flying to. When it comes to planning your Bulgarian holiday, it all depends on where you want to go. The European country has a long coastline on the Black Sea, lending itself to having numerous scenic beach resorts for people to holiday in. The most famous Bulgarian beach resort in modern times is that of Sunny Beach, which has been a staple for those seeking great nightlife and exotic beaches from their next beach holiday. Similar resorts are Primorsko and Sozopol, all of which are the perfect backdrop for a week-long escape.
Bulgaria is also famous for dramatic landscapes in terms of mountains and forests, with the most famous example of this found in Pirin National Park near Bansko. Here, you'll find a jaw-dropping mountain range, great skiing tracks, and some great wildlife to spot when you're out and about. Europe's primeval past is also on show throughout the rest of the country through mist-cloaked panoramas and mazy hiking trails.
Found in south-eastern Europe, Bulgaria borders with Romania, Serbia, Macedonia, Greece and Turkey. They use Bulgarian Lev as their currency and it roughly equates to 1 for every 45p. The capital city of Bulgaria is Sofia and it's one of the perfect places to see the country's history. Full of Stalinist architecture, visiting the capital is like stepping back in time to the country's socialist period. The best example of this is the Largo, a communist ensemble of three classic buildings which harks back to 1957. The city is perfect for a city break of either three or four days, with reasonably cheap flights from most UK airports.
Bulgaria is one of those countries that is often overlooked by travellers to Europe. While it is home to breath taking scenery and some truly spectacular mountain ranges and forests, there is also something understated about its national character. In practice, this makes Bulgaria a true hidden gem of Europe. While its nature and scenery will keep the more active travellers happy, history buffs will appreciate the numerous medieval relics of the Bulgarian Empire which are scattered across the land.
