Bulgaria, one of the most exotic members of the European Union, is becoming increasingly attractive travel destination.

Golden Sands and Sunny Beach are popular for inexpensive summer holidays at the shores of the Black Sea, but if you have more time on your hands, explore other parts of Bulgaria as well. Only upon leaving costal resorts you will be able to get to know and appreciate real Bulgaria.

If big hotels and crowded beaches are not your thing, consider visiting Sozopol. It's smaller, friendlier, with a picturesque old town, and the sea in Sozopol is cleaner than on Golden Sands and Sunny Beach.

Bulgaria has a lot more to offer to visitors than cheap holidays at the beach. Veliko Tarnovo, built on hair-raisingly steep slopes above Yantra River, is one of the most picturesque towns on the Balkans. Museum village Koprivshtitsa is characterised by 383 beautifully renovated Bulgarian houses from the 19th century. The most famous Bulgarian wine region around Melnik offers countless hiking possibilities in a stunning landscape. Sofia might not be the prettiest European capital city but it awaits you with tasty food, good wine and vibrant nightlife. And if your business trip happens to bring you to Plovdiv Fair, don't forget to take some time off and visit beautifully preserved Plovdiv Old Town and Roman theatre from the 2nd century which accommodates as many as 3000 people.

Bulgaria is also one of the cheapest countries in the European Union to travel to. Traffic connections are improving, locals are friendly and Bulgarian food is fresh and good. Bulgaria is a paradise for Balkan food lovers: good quality lamb, sarmi, burek, baklavas and other oriental sweets are available practically everywhere.
