Bulgaria is surprisingly rich in the sights of all stripes - there are rare national parks with picturesque nature reserves, ancient cities full of museums and ancient fortresses, ancient ruins and antiquity ruins, and quiet quiet monastic cloisters, whose history dates back more than one hundred years .
What is especially pleasant - this country is only at 2, 5 o'clock in the summer, and the visa to Bulgaria has been recently put at least 6 months by the consulate and by a very simple package of documents. Nothing prevents you from getting together and going in search of the most beautiful architectural and natural "pearls" of the Balkans.

Start from the capital! Sofia is an amazing city - old, beautiful, with a special spirit and atmosphere. Sightseeing here is simply not count, and all sorts of cozy cafes and restaurants for a fun evening and even more so. But it is not necessary to linger for a long time, after all, there is a rich flora and fauna of the country rich in rare representatives. Believe me, the national parks of Bulgaria deserve a visit.
Whichever natural massif you choose, Pirin, Rila or Stara Planina, or one of the nature reserves like Vitosha, Blue Stones, or Srebrina, know that their nature is the main wealth of the country. Especially in this regard, the Rila Monastery, taken under the aegis of Unesco, is a complex of temples and cells, around which stretches the wild primeval nature and 30 lakes, including the picturesque Seven Rilski Lakes.
But let's return to the cultural and man-made monuments of Bulgaria .In this regard, the most interesting cities in the country were and remain Nesebar, Veliko Tarnovo and Plovdiv .By the way, Nessebar and Plovdiv, located on the coast, are also considered popular beach resorts - their amazing coast attracts thousands of tourists from Russia and the whole of the CIS..Perhaps it is no accident among our compatriots that apartments in Bulgaria are so popular in these regions - investing money and providing an excellent house on the shore, you can enjoy the views of old cities from your own window .
What else deserves mention? Boyana Church, the monastery of Aladzha and the Bachkovo Monastery, cave churches in Ivanovo and a good hundred attractions, not found anywhere else in the world.
