The Republic of Bulgaria occupies about a fifth of the Balkan Peninsula.

Speleotourism, rock climbing, health tours to resorts based on mineral springs and pilgrimage trips to Orthodox monasteries and temples are popular in the republic. The vast majority of guests come to the beach resorts in Bulgaria. Where is it better to go with the whole family or alone, with a group of friends or with a small child? The Bulgarian Black Sea Riviera offers dozens of resorts where everyone will find a vacation to their liking and to their pocket.
Foamy rustle of coastal waves
The Black Sea coast of Bulgaria stretches for more than 350 kilometers, and the entire coastal strip can be conditionally divided into northern and southern parts. Above the Balkan mountain range are the famous Golden Sands and Albena. If you are looking for where to go to Bulgaria by the sea, so that it will be very warm at the end of spring, pay attention to Sunny Beach, Nessebar or Sozopol.
The list of the main advantages of a beach holiday in Bulgaria undoubtedly includes:
- A short and relatively inexpensive flight. The cost of a ticket for a direct regular flight will be about 250 euros during the "high" season. You will have to spend only 3, 5 hours in the sky.
- Quite cheap accommodation. A room in a 4 * hotel not far from the beach can be rented for 30-40 euros. If you pay attention to private apartments rented by local residents, the cost of vacation will be reduced even more.
- Convenient infrastructure for family vacations. The entire resort area has a large selection of hotels, playgrounds, playgrounds, cafes and inexpensive restaurants with a menu adapted to the needs of young tourists.
Some resorts are literally "sharpened" for family needs and desires, and when asked where it is better to have a rest in Bulgaria with kids, the villages of Elenite and Obzor and the city of Albena can answer thoughtfully. Their main advantage is a gentle entrance to the water and a relatively shallow sea near the coast. There are no strong winds and waves in the coastal zone of these resorts, the water warms up early, and therefore kids can swim and sunbathe absolutely safely and comfortably.
Albena has a lot of entertainment that will allow you to spend a varied and rich vacation. In addition to traditional playgrounds, the resort invites young vacationers and their parents to enjoy the amusement park rides, learn to ride a horse, take lessons at an archery school, and master children's water skiing. Each hotel in Albena has its own kids club, where you can leave children in the care of qualified teachers.
Inexpensive hotel fund Obzor, the cleanest beach and healing springs in the vicinity attract guests to the resort who want to take a break from the city noise and combine beach holidays with wellness procedures. The cost of rest in this resort will be at least one and a half times lower than in the noisy and popular Golden Sands or in Sunny Beach.
Elenite will especially appeal to tourists with very young children. Cozy apartments here can be booked very inexpensively, and playgrounds and beach clubs are equipped with the needs of young travelers in mind.
Give, youth
If you are under thirty, you can boast of having fun and easy-going friends, and your bank account is not very solid yet, Bulgaria may be a smart choice for the upcoming student holidays or vacations. Where to go on vacation, so as not to spend too much money, but at the same time enjoy the sun and the sea, and in the evening light up in full at a nightclub or at a beach party? Sunny Beach, Golden Sands and Albena are the most suitable for youth recreation. In these cities, the bulk of institutions for cultural and active leisure and hotels are concentrated, where you can rent a room or apartment at an inexpensive price and close to the sea.
Beach leisure in the youth resorts of Bulgaria will help to organize centers for the rental of equipment for practicing water sports. On the Black Sea Riviera, you can learn surfing and water skiing, play volleyball right on the sand and ride a jet ski or banana boat.
Where is the best place to go to Bulgaria and which resort to choose if you are crazy about diving? Unfortunately, the Black Sea cannot boast of the same rich underwater world as the Red Sea, but you will be able to do your favorite type of active recreation in Sozopol. The diving center in this Bulgarian resort offers diving equipment and instructor services for beginners. Sozopol's dive sites are the area of the old port, where there are several ancient relics from sunken ships.
Winter holidays in Bulgaria
Where to go to rest in Bulgaria for adherents of winter sports? What resorts should you pay attention to for those who cannot wait for the Christmas holidays to rush with the breeze along the mountain slopes and enjoy contemplating the magnificent landscapes opening up to their gaze? Do not expect the complexity of the Austrian or the well-groomed French from the Bulgarian ski slopes. The local slopes are more suitable for mid-level athletes without any special pretensions, novice skiers and fans of leisurely family outdoor activities. But the cost of services at the Bulgarian winter resorts is much more democratic than that of their "senior" Western European colleagues in arms:
- The Rila mountain range and the Borovets resort located near its highest peak are the most popular among beginner athletes and snowboarders. The season starts in December and lasts until mid-April.
- Pamporovo has a particularly pleasant climate for skiing. This resort boasts the sunniest weather possible throughout the ski season. Lovers of skiing until mid-spring in Pamporovo are supported by snow cannons.
- Another famous Bulgarian winter resort is located in the Pirin mountain range. Bansko's slopes are ideal for both skiing and snowboarding, which makes its slopes especially popular with young people. You can ride in Bansko from the first days of December.
The resort closest to the capital on Vitosha Mountain is most suitable for families. The tracks here are not too difficult, and experienced instructors are happy to take beginners under their wing.
For health benefits
Bulgarian health resorts are built near healing springs, and their medical program is based on a combination of several healing factors - mineral water, mud, a special microclimate and traditions, which began in ancient times. The largest number of sanatoriums was built in Devin, Sandanski, Hisar and Velingrad.
At the balneological resorts, doctors treat many diseases: dermatological and urological, pulmonary and endocrine. If you cannot imagine your summer vacation without the sea, you will be able to combine business with pleasure at the resorts of St. Constantine and Helena, Pomorie and Golden Sands. They are located on the Black Sea coast, and therefore you can alternate treatment procedures in sanatoriums with sea bathing and sunbathing.
