Over 80 miles of sandy beaches, lively, around-the-clock nightlife, cities filled with history – holidays in relatively undiscovered Bulgaria offer something for everyone.

Bulgaria’s Unexplored Charms

Fairytale-style forests, historical cities, traditional fishing villages - all filled with relatively undiscovered treasures - Bulgaria is a rising holiday star. Off-the-radar Bulgaria is the land of Black Sea sandy beaches, famous nightlife and spectacular mountain scenery.

Sunny Beach

This purpose-made resort, set along an 18-kilometre-long Black Sea sandy beach, is home to a legendary nightlife scene. And, during the daytime, there’s something to suit every taste – from market stalls and football pitches to fairgrounds and massage huts.

Obzor

If you’re in the mood for more laid-back holiday experiences, you can head to Obzor. Days in this quiet, seaside town are centred on the sandy beach, which stretches for six kilometres. At night, you can check out one of the chilled-out bars and restaurants.

Nessebar

For a taste of authentic Bulgarian culture, there’s Nessebar, a UNESCO-protected town. This ancient place on the Black Sea coast boasts a rich history dating back to the sixth century BC.

Bourgas Region

Bulgaria was a bit of a late bloomer on the tourism front. While Spain, France and Italy were travel industry debutantes in the Fifties, Bulgaria wasn’t formally introduced to the world until the Nineties came around.

WHEN TO GO

The sun shines virtually all the time during the summer months in Bulgaria. In July and August, temperatures regularly climb above 30°C and swimmers can enjoy waters that nudge the mid-20s. Even in spring or autumn, you’ll still be able to enjoy beach weather, with just a few rain showers a month and the mercury hovering around the low to mid-20s. Temperatures can cool down in the evenings, though, so it might be a good idea to pack a light jacket or jumper.
