Widely recognized as the oldest country in Europe, Bulgaria is a Balkan nation that is home to diverse cultures including Greek, Slavic, Ottoman, and Persian. It is home to many UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including Rila Monastery and Boyana Church on the outskirts of Sofia, the country’s capital city. Additionally, Bulgaria is known for its wine production, tasty yogurt, and unique Cyrillic script.

Aside from its rich cultural heritage, other things that attract tourists to visit the country are its coastal and mountainous landscapes. There are many hiking trails such as Rila Mountain Trail and Okoto Lake Trail, which is part of Pirin National Park. This country is the perfect month-long travel destination for the adventure seeker, and if that is you, then check out this list of the top long-term rentals in Bulgaria.
