Information and Tips on a Holiday to Bulgaria

For many years Bulgaria was a country renowned for a place where students were able to go on holiday on the cheap. But today this beautiful country is able to provide much more than cheap wine and is ideal for those who are looking for something a little different from their next holiday.

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.

Compared to other countries in Europe the weather in Bulgaria is very temperate, but does have extremes. During the summer it is hot and dry, whilst during the winter months it becomes cold and damp. To avoid these extremes in the weather it is best to visit Bulgaria between the months of April and the middle of June.

But for those that do like the sun then June through to September is the perfect time for holidaying in Bulgaria. Although this is also the height of the tourist season and so accommodation costs will rise and it’s crucial that book yours well in advance of your holiday dates. This is even more important if you choose to holiday at any one of Bulgaria’s Black Sea Resorts.

If you would prefer to see another side of what Bulgaria has to offer then why not consider booking some holiday time to the country in September. This is when autumn is starting to come in and the colors of the countryside begin to change and you can eat as much fresh fruit and vegetables as you want. Plus you will find that getting the accommodation you want much easier and will be a lot cheaper.

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.

When it comes to getting to Bulgaria nothing could be simpler. Nearly every major airport in Europe is offering direct flights to the airport in Sofia, including its own airline Bulgaria Air. This is the national airline which took over from Balkan Airlines in 2002. But along with Bulgaria’s own airline many budget airlines in Europe now offer flights to it also.

If you intend to visit Bulgaria by car then you need to be aware that a tax will be levied on your vehicle as you cross the border into the country and as you leave again. So arrange to have plenty of small currency with you before you go.
