Advice on taking a Holiday in Bulgaria
If you are looking for something different from your next holiday, then why not consider visiting Bulgaria. Although for many years the country has been associated with rowdy parties of students drinking cheap wine this is far from the image that Bulgaria now has
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.
When it comes to the weather in Bulgaria compared to other parts of Europe it is extremely temperate. Generally through the summer months it remains hot and dry, where as the winter ones are damp and cold. Ideally for those who want the best weather (not too hot or too cold) then visiting this country between April and mid June is highly recommended.
If you are after the sun and spending time on Bulgaria’s beaches then going on holiday there during the middle of June and September should be considered. But remember this is the height of their summer tourist season so if you have not booked your accommodation well in advance getting what you want may prove difficult. This is especially the case for those who intend to spend their holiday at one of Bulgaria’s Black Sea Coast 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.
For those who want like to try their luck at skiing then the resorts in Bulgaria are gaining in popularity with skiers from around Europe. Again if you want to go skiing during the height of the season it is best to book sooner rather than later. The main ski season runs from the middle of December and can last well in to April in Bulgaria.
To get to Bulgaria could not be any simpler as you will soon discover nearly every major airport in Europe is offering direct flights to Sofia Airport. Along with Bulgaria Air (the national airline that took over from Balkan Airlines in 2002) many of the top budget airlines in Europe have regular flights to Bulgaria as well.
For those who would like to visit Bulgaria by car then be aware that a road tax is charged with regard to cars coming into and then leaving the country. Therefore ensure that before you arrive you have sufficient small currency in order to pay these charges.
