Although Bulgaria has often become associated in recent years with being a place where students go for cheap holidays. This beautiful country has so much now to offer to those who are looking for somewhere different for their next holiday home.
Many people are now visiting this Eastern European country because it has some of the most beautiful and unspoilt beaches in the world. Plus there is lots for one to do and see whilst visiting this up and coming tourist resort. Today you have the chance to explore its countryside either by hiking along the well maintained trails or going on a horse riding trek.
The weather in Bulgaria compared to some other countries in Europe is very temperate. The summers are hot and dry whilst the winters are cold and damp. If you want to miss these extremes in the weather the best times for visiting this country is between April and mid 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.
But if you want to see a different side of Bulgaria then you should try and arrange time to visit in September. This is when the trees are beginning to show their autumn colors and fruit and vegetables are in plentiful supply. Plus getting accommodation is far easier and the rates you will be charged will be a lot lower.
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.
As for getting to Bulgaria this could not be any easier. Many of the major airports around Europe now have direct flights into the country to the airport at Sofia. The actual airline that is run out of Bulgaria is Bulgaria Air which took over from Balkan Airlines back in 2002. Also many of the budget airlines around Europe are now offering flights into Bulgaria as well.
For those wishing to visit Bulgaria by car need to be aware that a road tax has to be paid upon entering and leaving the country. So be prepared and take plenty of the necessary Bulgarian coinage in order to pay these costs.
