There’s more to Bulgaria than the bargain ski resorts and the throbbing Black Coast beaches. Savvy travellers who venture inland are rewarded with remote villages peppering wild mountain ranges and charming UNESCOlisted monasteries. Spend some time exploring the galleries and streets of pretty Sofia before setting off in search of brown bears, seeking solace in the stunning national parks and visiting the ancient ruins past of civilisations; including Roman and Greek fortresses.
