Where to Go for City Breaks in Bulgaria
Bulgaria is only 3-4 hours away from UK airports, putting it well within reach for weekenders. However, as it's not the best-known destination among travellers, few get to experience a magical city break here.
-
Sofia
Bulgaria's biggest city and capital, Sofia is a youthful, dynamic place with plenty of history to explore. Lively cafés serve strong coffee and the country's Greek- and Turkish-influenced cuisine, while attractions such as the National Gallery and the National History Museum keep culture fans occupied.
-
Plovdiv
Despite being Europe's 'City of Culture' in 2019, Plovdiv sometimes flies under weekenders' radar. However, it's the best place in Bulgaria for ancient history lovers thanks to its astonishing Roman theatre and Old Town, a maze of atmospheric winding streets that offer endless photo opportunities.
-
Varna
This coastal city on the Black Sea boasts an appealing mix of beach and culture. Don't miss the Varna Necropolis, which houses a trove of gold jewellery dating back 6,000 years. Catch a show at the Dolphinarium, and schedule a cab ride to nearby Aladzha Monastery, where catacombs are hewn into the rock. Or you could just hit the beach. It's up to you.
-
Burgas
Also located on the Black Sea, Burgas is just as enjoyable as Varna, and maybe more so. It's a place where you can join the locals for DIY beauty treatments at Atanasovsko Lake, make a date for thermal bath sessions, visit the world's biggest sand sculpture festival (in the summer months), and mix beach days with urban sightseeing.
