Bulgaria is one of Europe’s best-kept secrets. We’re here to change that.
From Sofia’s ancient streets to the Black Sea coast, the Rhodope mountains to Plovdiv’s Roman ruins — BulgariaJourney is your independent guide to one of Europe’s most rewarding destinations.
Why Bulgaria? Why now?
Bulgaria joined the Schengen Area in 2024, making it easier than ever for travelers to include it on a European itinerary. Yet it remains dramatically undervisited — which means uncrowded medieval fortresses, affordable world-class food and wine, and experiences that feel genuinely off the beaten path.
BulgariaJourney exists because Bulgaria deserves better than a two-line mention in a generic Eastern Europe roundup. This country has 7,000 years of history, a Black Sea coastline that rivals the Adriatic, ski slopes that compete with the Alps at a fraction of the cost, and a culture shaped by Thracians, Romans, Byzantines, and Bulgars. It deserves its own guide — a proper one.
