Activity Holidays in Bulgaria

Overview

A history that stretches back over millennia, golden sand beaches that rival the shores of the Mediterranean, untamed mountains and pristine pine forests that sink into clear blue lakes, Bulgaria is Europe’s hidden gem you didn’t know you were missing until now.

Its position as the gateway to Turkey has left it as an incredible tapestry of ruins, fortresses, and ancient monuments. These traces of past influences from the times of the Romans, the Ottomans, the Soviets, and many many more make Bulgaria both an architectural and historical treat.

The Black Sea coastline attracts everyone from the lounging beachgoer to the coastal explorer, as Bulgaria offers beautiful sun-soaked beaches and hidden misty coves all along its eastern stretch of seaside.

Head to the west of the country, and you’ll stumble across some of Europe’s best wilderness. Swathes of sweet-scented pine forest conceals bears, wolves and lynx, whilst incredible trails snake up through jaw-dropping mountains that conceal cold-clear glacial lakes.

In the towns and cities, a rich culture and vibrant nightlife await you, with surprisingly energetic art scenes and fantastic culinary explorations to be had in Sofia, Varna and Plovdiv.

Getting off the beaten track in Bulgaria is easily done and richly rewarding, and it’s the perfect place for your next European adventure into the unknown.

    Best Time to Visit Bulgaria

    General

    Bulgaria’s high season is really about one thing to most tourists – the coast. People flock to the Black Sea, where high temperatures and warm evenings bring out a vibrant, lively atmosphere.

    You’ll find the best time for hiking, climbing, and generally exploring outdoors in spring and autumn, May and April being particularly good times to lose yourself in the mountains.

    In the winter, it does get very chilly, and although the coast might be quiet and the cities covered in snow, the ski resorts in the mountains make a tempting option.

    • In many cases, less than 10% of the money spent on a holiday actually ends up in the pockets of the local community. Tourism leakage is a serious problem, and it means many people are not able to reap the benefits of the tourism happening in their own back yard. We work with small, local suppliers and ensure that they receive a fair amount for every holiday we sell.

    • The climate is changing, and the travel industry is a key frontier in this battle. On the one hand, pollution from travel, erosion from over-tourism, and waste from careless travelling can make the problem much worse. But on the other hand, travel affords unique opportunities to help people connect with the natural environment in a close-up, personal way, and support locals in protecting their local environment. We are committed to offering experiences that match our sustainability criteria.

    We educate and provide guidance to travellers, hosts and agents.

    • Travel can help build a better world, but it has to be done properly. We are not just finding experiences that are better for local communities and better for the planet. We are committed to helping everyone travel better. From the moment they book with us until the moment they arrive home, we actively help our travellers with resources and guidance. This helps them travel more mindfully, and ultimately, offers a deeper, more rewarding experience.
