Bulgaria

Rick Steves Europe Travel Guide © 2016 | Bulgaria, so mysterious to most Americans, has a vivid identity as a crossroads of the Balkans. We ll trace the country s complex history, from ancient Thracian tombs to medieval Orthodox Christian monasteries to Soviet monuments. And we ll enjoy an intimate taste of contemporary culture: the yellow brick road of Sofia; the gregarious craftspeople of the medieval capital, Veliko Tarnovo; and the thriving pedestrian zones of cosmopolitan Plovdiv. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #bulgaria Visit http://www.ricksteves.com for more information about this destination and other destinations in Europe.
