The capital, Sofia, is filled with boutique-style shops, yet it also allows you to snatch a real bargain and experience traditional Bulgarain living when wandering the various local markets.
Country life is much more basic. The locals are friendly and the cuisine traditionally simple.
The Bulgarian landscape is varied with long, golden beaches to the east, and mountainous terrain to the south and west.
The winter playground of the Pirin and Rhodopi mountains is home to some of the fastest emerging ski resorts in Europe. Blue Flag beaches line the Black Sea coast along with touristy medieval towns.
The Bulgarian climate is temperate with cold, damp winters and hot dry summers.
