I have to say, travel to Bulgaria exceeded my expectations in many respects. There were mountains and forests and rivers; cute cobblestone streets and massive Soviet era buildings; colorful monasteries and really, really old churches. Oh, and some amazing Roman ruins. A little bit of everything, to be sure.
Take a look:
There are no words for how much I love the cat curled up and overlooking the musicians in the square. THIS is why I’m heading to Bulgaria!
Absolutely stunning photos of my beautiful home country. Iām glad you liked it. š
Absolutely gorgeous
What a great photo essay. I love the shot of the cat in Plovidv amphitheatre.
Thanks! That’s one of my favorites too. š
I don’t meet many people who have traveled to Bulgaria. I had no idea these beautiful places existed. Thanks for sharing!
Wow Bulgaria is really gorgeous! Where in Bulgaria did you go? I’d love to add a few of these places to my Eastern Europe trip next year!
More posts to come, but I stopped in Sofia, Blagoevgrad, Plovdiv and Veliko Tarnovo.
Hi Katie – Have really been enjoying your blog. I’m getting ready to head out for my own RTW trip and since I too live in Chicago, wonder if I might buy you a cup of coffee and pick your brain sometime?
Thanks ReAnn! And sure, would be happy to – just shoot me an email!
Stop making me want to go to more places! My list is already too long! Seriously though, gorgeous photos, looks like you had a great time. Looking forward to reading more about your trip.
Haha, yes, despite the rain, it was a great trip! (and dark clouds sometimes make for cool photos!)
I love the pictures, especially the ruins. Which were your favorites to see?
Tsarevets Fortress in Veliko Tarnovo was definitely my favorite. Although I loved the Roman ruins in Plovdiv too.
Bulgaria wasn’t exactly on my radar before, but holy smokes are those ever gorgeous buildings! Wow!
Wow, how beautiful. I had no idea Bulgaria looked like that. On my list!
