Bulgaria is a land known for its rich cultural and historical heritage, pristine beaches, and captivating landscapes.  To get the most out of your travel here in Bulgaria, especially if this is your first time to visit the country, here are just some tips that would be useful for you.

As with any country in Europe, all travelers are required to have a valid passport before taking a trip to Bulgaria.  Make sure that the validity of your passport extends six months after your arrival to the country of Bulgaria.  It would be a good idea to have your passport first renewed before you travel to Bulgaria if your passport is to expire within the same year.  If you are visiting the country as a tourist, immigration in Bulgaria would allow tourists from some countries to visit the country without having to acquire a visa for as long as the stay is no longer than 30 days.  To make sure if you are eligible for this, you can contact the embassy or consulate of Bulgaria in your country for more details.

During the winter months, the country can be quite chilly and experiences a substantial amount of rainfall.  In the summer months, travelers should be prepared for rain and wind.  During the first few months of summer in the country, travelers are sure to experience frequent rains often accompanied by blustering winds.

Bulgaria takes pride in its rich cultural and historical heritage.  In fact, Bulgaria is home to nine different UNESCO World Heritage Sites, all of which are top tourist destinations in the country.  Each of these heritage sites offers travelers a unique glimpse of a particular aspect of the rich culture of the country.  One of the most visited UNESCO World Heritage Sites visited in Bulgaria is the Madara Rider located on the Madara Plateau. 

This relief, which was carved on the rock of the plateau, has been dated back to the year 710 AD and it is believed to have been created under the instruction of the Bulgar Khan Tervel.

Despite the fact that Bulgaria is just starting to make its mark as a prime tourist destination in Europe, travelers visiting the country would not need to worry about where to stay during their trip to this beautiful country.  Travelers can choose from a wide variety of accommodations all over the country.  From 5-star hotels to private lodgings and hostels, travelers are guaranteed to find one that would meet their budget.
