Destinations

Bulgaria offers a variety of tourism opportunities for those interested in more traditional, as well as alternative, destinations. The country is well-known for the relatively low prices in both its mountain and seaside resorts, though you can also find 5 star accomodation in the resorts, if that is what you are looking for.
Apart from summer and ski tourism, Bulgaria offers spa, cultural, rural, historic and extreme sports tourism opportunities. Tourists can either enjoy the popular resorts or choose a more unconventional destination.
