01 – AT A GLANCE
Bulgaria combines a capital with Roman and Ottoman heritage, colorful historic towns, Orthodox
monasteries, mountain landscapes and a long Black Sea coast. Sofia is the natural first base; Plovdiv
and Veliko Tarnovo add history, while Rila, Pirin and the Black Sea provide strong nature and leisure
extensions.
