Bulgaria Holidays
Long sandy beaches, rugged mountains and fine year-round weather make holidays to Bulgaria a gorgeous short haul spot. Explore the stunning Black Sea beach resorts of Varna, Bourgas and Sozopol, where upbeat activities, alluring architecture, delicious restaurants and a buzzing nightlife await you. Take some time out during your Bulgaria holidays to admire the rich history and architecture of the country by visiting the gorgeous Aleksander Nevski Church and the 10th-centuty Rila Monastery, where miniature icon paintings and woodcarvings captivate you with their enthralling iconography.
Sunny Beach is probably the most popular stretch of sand you’ll visit on Bulgaria holidays, backed by massage parlours, market stalls and boasting bundles of activities, while the Golden Sands resort in Varna has a Blue Flag number worth visiting. Beyond the beaches, take a trip across the rugged countryside, a paradise for hikers, mountain bikers and adventure sports lovers, the resort offers glacial lakes, forest-covered trails, mist-cloaked mountains and panoramic views.
Holidays to Bulgaria are a great summer holiday option, with the best of beaches and bustling towns – all for affordable prices.
Essential Information: When you go and what you'll need
Getting Around
There are many options for private or public airport transfers and most tourists opt for these due to the poor road conditions and haphazard driving. Yellow cabs are metered and tend to be reliable.
Buses in Bulgaria are frequent and fairly reliable in the tourist areas although they are often crowded and hot. Bus travel is certainly a better option than using Bulgarian trains, which are unreliable compared to in the UK.
It’s possible to hire a car – bear in mind you'll need to drive on the right side of the road.
Sunny Beach
With a name as enticing as Sunny Beach, it's no wonder that this purpose-built resort on the Black Sea Coast attracts thousands of tourists every summer.
Sunny Beach lives up to its name, providing ample opportunities for sun worshipers to bask in its glorious rays. The best time to visit is between May and October when the hottest spells bless the region.
Picture yourself lounging on a comfortable beach chair, feeling the warm sand beneath your toes, and gazing out at the glistening sea. The beach stretches as far as the eye can see, inviting you to take refreshing dips in the clear, inviting waters.
When you've had your fill of sun and sea, the lively waterfront comes alive with a plethora of activities and attractions. Cool off with a refreshing drink at one of the beachfront bars, where you can sip on tropical cocktails and enjoy the relaxed ambiance. As the day transitions into evening, the vibrant nightlife scene takes centre stage. The resort is dotted with lively clubs and bars, where you can dance the night away.
Golden Sands
Situated on the northern Black Sea Coast, the aptly named resort of Golden Sands in Varna promises a truly idyllic holiday destination.
Golden Sands beckons with its crystal-clear waters, inviting you to take a dip and cool off from the warm sun. The soft, golden sands stretch along the coast, providing ample space to unwind and enjoy the coastal scenery. Picture yourself reclining on a sun lounger, feeling the gentle breeze on your skin as you soak up the sun's rays and listen to the rhythmic sound of the waves.
Water enthusiasts will find plenty of opportunities to engage in whacky watersports. From thrilling jet ski rides to exhilarating water skiing, the resort offers an array of adrenaline-pumping activities for all ages. Explore the coast on a kayak or try your hand at windsurfing, feeling the exhilaration as you glide across the water's surface.
When you're ready to take a break from the excitement, Golden Sands offers a tranquil atmosphere where you can simply unwind and recharge. Explore the lush greenery surrounding the resort, take a leisurely stroll along the promenade, or indulge in a rejuvenating spa treatment. The resort also boasts a vibrant nightlife scene, with various bars and clubs where you can dance, socialize, and enjoy live music or DJ performances.
Fish Beach
Escape the crowds and head to this superb surfing beach, located 3km from southern seaside town Sozopol.
Being a part of a camping site, this laid-back stretch of beach charges a small fee to enter.
It’s home to a surf school for those who want to test out the waters and learn to windsurf along the deep blue sea.
There are a few restaurants serving sandwiches and snacks too for when you need something to charge the batteries.
Visit Obzor
The charming seaside town of Obzor offers beautiful beaches similar to the lively Sunny Beach, but has a more laid-back vibe that's popular with families.
Luckily, Obzor is just as popular today as it was when the Roman Emperors holidayed here, thanks to its 8km-long Black Sea beach backed by the Stara Planina Mountains and a palm-lined promenade with cafés, hotel bars and restaurants.
