BULGARIABulgaria joined the EU on 1st January 2007, and is beginning to attract an
increasing number of tourists who initially headed mainly for the seaside resorts of the Black Sea and ski resorts such as Bansko and now Europes Newest Party Capital, Sofia is beginning to be discovered by the adventurous traveller.
Today's visitors to Bulgaria will find little of the austere Eastern Bloc society of the past. More likely they will be pleasantly surprised by the
lively streets, appearance of
increasing affluence, new boutiques and clean,
well-organised streets. With unemployment and inflation rates plummeting, the Bulgaria and Sofia is gaining credibility and
regaining economic stability, pleasing its
educated population.
