One of the most prominent tourist attractions in Bulgaria is the small resort town of Varna, on the Black Sea coast. It still has functioning old Roman bathhouses and a number of historic sites like the Dormition of the Mother of God Cathedral. The Archaeological Museum is a fascinating place to visit, as is the Aladzha Monastery, an astonishing maze of caves carved into the karst cliffs outside the town. To stay nearby, book your room at Dionis Hotel or Fantasy Apartments.
The party capital of Bulgaria isn’t Sofia but rather the town of Sunny Beach. It has some of the best bars in the country and plenty of beachfront to enjoy. Clubs and discos are plentiful, too, attracting some of the world’s top DJs. To be close to these venues, you could book at Apart Hotel Tarsis Club, which is also a good choice for groups of friends on holiday. The hugely popular Sunny Beach and Action Aquapark are only about 5min away by car.
While Sofia and Sunny Beach offer a lot for families to do on holiday, they can be a bit too hectic for families with young children. A better alternative is the quieter town of Sinemorets, something of a best-kept secret among experienced family holidaymakers. Barely more than a village, it has excellent, serene beaches and is close to Strandzha Nature Park. Good family hotel options here are Hotel Eskada Beach or the Santa Maria Apartments.
Hotels are safe environments for travellers as long as they properly implement sanitary measures in response to coronavirus (COVID-19). However, we recommend getting in touch with the local authorities regarding safety procedures for hotels in Bulgaria.
Based on KAYAK hotel searches, the most popular region to stay in Bulgaria is Burgas. Varna and Oblast Sofia City are also very popular.
