If you are looking for something different from your next holiday, then why not consider visiting Bulgaria. Although for many years the country has been associated with rowdy parties of students drinking cheap wine this is far from the image that Bulgaria now has
Many people choose to visit Bulgaria for one reason and one reason only and that is to spend time on its unspoilt beautiful beaches. Yet if you are feeling like you need a little bit more to do then why not consider spending time exploring the surrounding countryside either on horseback or hiking along one of the many well maintained trails.
Compared to other countries in Europe the weather in Bulgaria is very temperate, but does have extremes. During the summer it is hot and dry, whilst during the winter months it becomes cold and damp. To avoid these extremes in the weather it is best to visit Bulgaria between the months of April and the middle of June.
However, if you want to get some sun then going to Bulgaria between the middle of June and September should be considered. But be aware that the costs of accommodation increase and if you don’t book well in advance then getting accommodation will be very difficult indeed. In fact if you intend to visit any of Bulgaria’s Black Coast resorts book your accommodation several months in advance to ensure that you get exactly what you want.
If you would prefer to see another side of what Bulgaria has to offer then why not consider booking some holiday time to the country in September. This is when autumn is starting to come in and the colors of the countryside begin to change and you can eat as much fresh fruit and vegetables as you want. Plus you will find that getting the accommodation you want much easier and will be a lot cheaper.
However, if you intend to go skiing in Bulgaria then again the resorts that it has are growing in popularity with many from around Europe. So you need to start making your holiday arrangements sooner rather than later. The main ski season in Bulgaria runs from the middle of December and may last as long as until April.
To get to Bulgaria could not be any simpler as you will soon discover nearly every major airport in Europe is offering direct flights to Sofia Airport. Along with Bulgaria Air (the national airline that took over from Balkan Airlines in 2002) many of the top budget airlines in Europe have regular flights to Bulgaria as well.
If you intend to visit Bulgaria by car then you need to be aware that a tax will be levied on your vehicle as you cross the border into the country and as you leave again. So arrange to have plenty of small currency with you before you go.
