In this thrilling adventure through Bulgaria, we uncover 12 hidden gems that will leave you breathless. From the historic capital city of Sofia, where ancient ruins stand proudly next to Soviet-era buildings, to the sacred Rila Monastery nestled deep in the mountains, Bulgaria is a land of contrasts and surprises. Bansko, known for its ski slopes, offers more than just winter sports, with traditional stone houses and cozy taverns adding to its charm.
As we journey to Plovdiv, one of the oldest cities in Europe, we are transported back in time to its founding in 4,000 BC. The city's ancient theater and well-preserved old town are testaments to its enduring history. Moving on to Veliko Tarnovo, perched dramatically on the Yantra River, we explore its medieval fortress and winding cobblestone streets, feeling the echoes of Bulgaria's golden age with every step.
Sozopol, Bulgaria's oldest coastal town, beckons with its timeless atmosphere and archaeological sites that hint at its rich past. Etara Village, an open-air museum recreating a 19th-century Bulgarian village, offers a glimpse into the country's heritage through working water mills and cobblestone lanes. Nessebar, the Pearl of the Black Sea, enchants with its cobbled streets, wooden houses, and over 40 ancient churches, creating a perfect blend of history and coastal beauty.
