Bulgaria is a destination where mountains and sea meet layers of history, quiet villages, and lively cities. This travel itinerary ebook is designed for travelers who want to move freely, guided by a thoughtful route through the country’s most atmospheric places.
Begin in Sofia, a capital that balances centuries of cultural heritage with a present-day rhythm. From there, move toward the mountain resorts of Borovets, Bansko, and Pamporovo—each offering its own setting, whether it’s for winter landscapes or mountain air.
In Plovdiv, you’ll find Roman ruins and cobbled streets wrapped in a relaxed charm that feels both old and lived-in. Stara Zagora and Veliko Tarnovo continue the thread, bringing you into towns where everyday life flows around history that’s still standing.
The itinerary then leads you east, where the Black Sea coast unfolds with contrast and variety. Balchik is calm and scenic, while Varna welcomes with its size and energy. Golden Sands and Albena bring a lighter pace, with long beaches and relaxed walks.
Obzor and Sunny Beach offer a more active mood, while Nessebar pulls you inward with narrow alleys and sea views framed by stone walls.
Further south, Burgas adds a more modern tone before giving way to Sozopol, where the coast softens again and the charm returns in quiet corners and sea-facing balconies.
