Tucked away in the heart of Eastern Europe, Bulgaria is the kind of place that sneaks up on you — and then completely wins you over. A country where ancient Thracian tombs meet mountain monasteries, and where the locals’ love for music and folklore will have your foot tapping before you even realize it.
At Pinoy Tourism, we’ll take you through Bulgaria’s many layers, from glittering glacial lakes and snow-capped peaks to centuries-old fortresses and monasteries that seem frozen in time. Wander through the “City of the Tsars,” explore secret mountain villages, and stand before the mesmerizing stripes of Rila Monastery. Bulgaria’s got a history older than Rome and natural beauty that’ll make your camera weep with joy.

      Our Top 5 Things to Do in Bulgaria Discover with the Bulgaria Tour Package

      Visit Rila Monastery

      Nestled in the Rila Mountains, this 10th-century monastery is Bulgaria’s most famous landmark — and for good reason. With its bold red-and-black arches and vivid frescoes, Rila looks like it leapt straight from a storybook.

      Feel the Rhythm at a Folklore Show

      Traditional Bulgarian music and dance are pure energy — fast, passionate, and contagious. Watch locals perform the famous horo dance, a line of twirling skirts and infectious laughter that’ll have you clapping along.

      Explore Veliko Târnovo, the “City of the Tsars”

      Once the seat of Bulgaria’s medieval empire, this riverside city is packed with charm. Walk its cobbled lanes, shop at the Samovodska Charshia market, and stand atop Tsarevets Fortress for views that scream “postcard moment.”

      Step into the Tsarevets Fortress

      You can almost feel the echoes of Bulgaria’s royal past here. Once home to kings, knights, and the occasional dramatic execution (it was the Middle Ages, after all), Tsarevets is a history lover’s playground.

      Travel to the UNESCO-listed town of Arbanasi

      Perched on a hill above Veliko Târnovo, this quiet town is a time capsule of Bulgarian Revival architecture — ornate mansions, hidden monasteries, and fresco-filled churches that tell centuries-old stories.

      Best Museums in Bulgaria – Discover with Bulgaria Tour Packages

      Sofia

      St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral (Sofia)

      This massive cathedral dominates Sofia’s skyline — and below it, the crypt houses one of Europe’s largest collections of Orthodox icons. A must-see for art lovers and architecture buffs alike.

      Sofia

      Museum of Socialist Art (Sofia)

      Ever wondered what communist-era art looked like? This museum lays it all out — from stone statues of former leaders to vivid propaganda posters and films from Bulgaria’s socialist past.

      Sofia

      Earth and Man National Museum (Sofia)

      Calling all rock lovers! This museum is a treasure trove of minerals, gemstones, and sparkling geodes. It’s one of the biggest mineralogical collections in the world — and it’s surprisingly mesmerizing.

      Best Food in Bulgaria – Must-Try Speciality with Bulgaria Tour Packages

      Banitza

      Layers of filo pastry stuffed with eggs, cheese, and milk, baked until golden perfection. It’s Bulgaria’s go-to breakfast, flaky, warm, and best enjoyed with a local yogurt drink.

      Lukanka

      Think of this as Bulgaria’s artisanal salami. Cured, spiced, and slightly chewy, it’s often served thinly sliced with bread or cheese and pairs perfectly with a glass of red wine.

      Shkembe (Tripe Soup)

      Bold, spicy, and famously “curative,” this soup is made with tripe, paprika, garlic, and vinegar. Locals swear it’s the best hangover cure in the Balkans. So, worth a try.
