Witness the beauty of bright yellow and blue wild flowers appearing through the snow in the Bulgarian Alps, as well as wildlife-filled forests and impressive mountain ranges. And to top if off, there's medieval and Roman gems ready for exploring on a Bulgaria tour.
Take in all of the must-see sights and discover roads less-travelled on our small group tours to Bulgaria. Join your local tour leader on a cultural tour of Sofia to discover colourful church murals, Soviet bronze statues and sacred religious relics. Then head out of the city to find monasteries enveloped by the verdant mountainscape and adorned with distinctive striped brickwork. Hop on a train to travel further into the lush alpine hills, and gaze at the vast mountain vistas as we climb to the highest valley in the country. There is plenty to see on the Black Sea coast too. Uncover Byzantine ruins on the quaint peninsular of Nessebar, with its terracotta roofs, cobbled streets and aquamarine waters, and climb the Staircase of Victory to face the imposing Bulgarian-Soviet Friendship monument.
