| Bulgaria is situated at a crossroads
that has been linking East and West for millennia. It has been
home to many civilisations, including the Thracians, Slavs,
Romans, Byzantines, Proto-Bulgarians, and Ottomans.
There are lots of museums as well as historical
places and monasteries.
In winter, one can go skiing in Borovetz,
Bansko and Pamporovo, and in summer - to resorts at the Black
sea such as Sozopol, Nessebur, Golden Sands, Sunny Beach,
Albena, St. Constantine & Helena and many others. One
of the main reasons for "Westerners" to go to Bulgaria,
is the costs of having a holiday in Bulgaria is a lot lower
then the main holiday resorts like Spain, Italy & Greece
for summer resorts and Germany, Austria & Switzerland
for winter resorts.
The mountains of Rila, Pirin and the Balkan
are attracting climbers from different parts of the world.
Hikers also enjoy being in the mountains
of Vitosha, the Rhodopes and many other smaller mountains.
Bicycling is popular in Bulgaria, one of
only six countries in the world to annually host official
1200km Randonnees - ultra-marathon bicycle rides patterned
after Paris-Brest-Paris.
