A stunning country in Eastern Europe, Bulgaria is renowned for its picturesque mountains, quaint villages, mouth-watering cuisine, lovely beaches and friendly locals. It's difficult to say no to world-class skiing pistes in winter or the après-ski drinks of Rakia (fermented beverage) with friends that follow. Wander through quaint cities and old landmarks. Discover scenic hiking routes or relish traditional folk songs and dances. From majestic mountains to sandy beaches, Bulgaria tempts you with its natural beauty and historic attractions. Visitors travelling by air will land at any of the following airports: Sofia Airport, Burgas Airport, Varna Airport, Plovdiv Airport and Gorna Oryahovitsa. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Air France, Alitalia, Aegean, LOT Polish Airlines and Lufthansa are some of the popular airlines operating flights to Bulgaria.
Bulgaria's capital, Sofia, is a charming urban centre located at the foot of the impressive Vitosha Mountains. It is a pleasant and youthful city boasting a 2,000-year old history. Admire 13th century frescoes, ornate mosques, historic churches and Roman ruins. Escape to its modern parks and gardens to commune with nature. Beyond the historic attractions, eclectic bars and restaurants as well as rich museums and galleries invite you to linger just a bit longer. Straddling seven hills, Plovdiv, the second largest city in the country, is a rapidly growing outsourcing centre famous for its ancient amphitheatre, universities, parks and revival architecture. Ramble through pretty cobblestone streets or spend time at an art gallery. You name it, Plovdiv has something to offer even the most discerning guests.
