Highlights

Discover the treasures of Bulgaria


Bulgaria, on the edge of Europe, is mostly overlooked, despite its proximity. From ancient Thrace to the Communist era, history has left its mark in Bulgaria.
But it is not just history that makes the country so attractive.
In the various mountain ranges, surrounded by beautiful nature, there are cozy villages tucked away where life seems to have stood still for a long time and residents are only too happy to welcome guests.
Bulgaria is one of Europe's best-kept secrets.
