A personal yet fully comprehensive and up-to-date view of a country still relatively unknown in the West, Bulgaria: A Travel Guide introduces the reader to this destination that has been previously ignored by Western tourists, but is now becoming a new travel hot spot deemed the Eastern European country most ready for tourists. Perhaps Europe's most underrated travel destination, Bulgaria is traditionally famed for hot summers on the sunny beaches and golden sands of the Black Sea coast, and skiing winters in mountain resorts such as Pamporovo, Borovets, and Bansko. The author also recommends springtime in museum towns such as Melnik and Koprivshtitsa, monasteries great and small, the art schools in Tryavna and Bansko, and antiquities in Plovdiv and Kazanluk, as well as walks in the Pirin and Rhodope mountains, museums, galleries, opera houses, and theatres. From Sofia, the booming capital, to quaint mountain villages, this guide is a thought-provoking study of the Bulgarian people, as well as a complete travel handbook for visitors. It offers intriguing insight into the culture of Bulgaria, while providing all of the information available in a more standard guidebook.
