Whether you are planning to visit a city, a region or a country, DK's foolproof 'Eyewitness' approach makes learning about a place a pleasure in itself. All the traditional guidebook subject matter is covered-descriptions of sights, opening times, hotels, restaurants, shopping, entertainment, phrase books etc- but, with the help of specially commissioned illustrations and maps, DK makes essential information easy to access and quick to absorb. No other guides explain the history of a place as clearly in words and pictures. DK Eyewitness Travel Guides-the best guides ever created.

Thanks to its year-round appeal, Bulgaria is an up-and-coming tourist destination in Europe, with approximately 5 million visitors per year enjoying the historical cities and towns, white sand beaches, and spectacular ski resorts. Whether exploring Sofia's magnificent churches or trying to decipher the Cyrillic alphabet, the Eyewitness Guide to Bulgaria is indispensable.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best travel guides, September 12, 2008

By	Book Reader - See all my reviews

DK makes the best travel guides. As simple as that. Every time I am about to travel I purchase one of their books. They also have smaller books that you can carry with you, the "top 10" series. I highly recommend those as well!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best guidebook about Bulgaria, April 13, 2009

By	Rossitza Ohridska-olson "rokambur" (Florida, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Compared with other guidebooks, this is the best, when it comes to useful information for individuals visiting Bulgaria without an organized trip.

Mr. Bousfield book covers extensively history, customs, geography, and, above all, all necessary information which helps the reader to get the best travel experience. It is also brilliantly written, very well researched and beautifully illustrated.

As a cultural tourism travel consultant, I have to research a lot of guidebooks about the region of my specialization - South Eastern Europe.

With its reliable information, useful tips, and overall responsible approach to travel writing, this book is an exception from the bunch of poorly researched, trashing the country or full with factual mistakes "guidebooks" out there.
