An Undiscovered Europe with Deep Roots
Between the peaks of the Balkans and the shores of the Black Sea, Bulgaria reveals a thousand-year-old heritage preserved from mass tourism circuits. Perched monasteries still echo with Orthodox chants, while mountain villages perpetuate centuries-old craft traditions. Damask Rose, Thracian wines, Bulgarian Renaissance architecture: this country reveals its treasures to those who take the time to immerse themselves in it.
Our local English-speaking agents design your itinerary according to your interests: Orthodox spirituality, hiking in the Rhodopes, discovering Sofia and Plovdiv, or meeting with artisans in mountain villages.
What to absolutely see in Bulgaria?
The Rila Monastery, a jewel of Orthodox art nestled in the mountains, remains the emblematic stop on any trip to Bulgaria. Plovdiv, European Capital of Culture 2019, captivates with its old town featuring colorful Bulgarian Renaissance houses and its perfectly preserved Roman theater. Sofia reveals its architectural eclecticism, from the St. Sophia Church to the Roman remains of Serdica. The Rhodopes offer postcard-perfect landscapes with traditional villages like Kovachevitsa, while the Valley of Roses near Kazanlak is fragrant from May to June.
What type of trip should you choose?
A tailor-made trip to Bulgaria adapts to all profiles: 8-10 day cultural tours to discover the essentials, 12-15 day stays including hiking and rural immersion, or thematic trips focused on Orthodox spirituality and artisanal traditions. The average budget starts at €1,200 per person for a 10-day comfort tour, including flights. The period from May to September offers the best conditions, with spring being particularly colorful during the rose blooming season.
