Is it your first time going to Bulgaria on holiday? Check out our guide to Bulgaria, which will give you an idea of the country, its inhabitants, geography and sights not to miss.
West of the nation of Bulgaria is the capital city of Sofia, possessing 1.2 million residents, making it the most heavily populated region in this nation. A short drive of less than ninety minutes takes you to the southern mountain ranges where the beauty of the land becomes evident. Towering over the area are the just under 3,000m snowcapped peaks of Rila and Pirin. (Just under 10,000 feet)The mountains that comprise the country's most popular skiing and hiking are also home to Europe's most blistering 216°F mineral spring. (215.6° F) (however, it is sad but true that none of these are used well).
The Rhodope range lies east of Rila and Pirin with river gorges and valleys covered in virgin forest, dotted throughout with mountain villages. Bulgaria is a region that is best travelled by car so you take in and enjoy its' breathtaking beauty.
With Sofia to the West, the softly undulating Sredna Gora and Balkan mountains go through central Bulgaria and are the source of the of the northern region's Danubian plains. (which has no genuine attractions), the Valley of the Kings beckoning beyond the southern slopes. (aka the Valley of Roses, because of the famous roses that produce some of the best-quality attar in the world). Kananluk is not the official capital of Plovdiv Valley, but it is the unofficial capital. (population: 340 thousand)A superior base can be found in Bulgaria's number two largest city, one with a striking historical center.
