Bulgaria

Bulgaria is a beautiful underrated country in the Balkans.

Explore the many picturesque towns and villages alongside hidden monasteries and beaches.

Bulgaria is the perfect for affordable skiing in Europe! Take a trip to Bankso in the winter or explore the Rila Mountains in the summer.

We spent almost a week backpacking through Bulgaria visiting Sofia (the capital city) and the charming city of Plovdiv.

Planning a trip to Bulgaria

Is Bulgaria vegan-friendly? When exploring Bulgaria we came across a lot of raw plant-based food in cafes, restaurants and shops! Raw products are usually all vegan other than the addition of honey sometimes. Veganism isn’t that popular in Bulgaria but you can find vegan options in restaurants all over the country.

Is Bulgaria budget-friendly? Yes! Bulgaria is an affordable country to travel and you’ll find budget friendly accommodation even in the big cities.
