Vacations in Bulgaria

Why should you book a holiday package to Bulgaria?

There are plenty of reasons to make your next trip to Bulgaria a holiday package. It's a great way to save money when visiting resorts like Sunny Beach, it's an excellent option when skiing at Vitosha or Borovets, and packages can also allow visitors to get more from city breaks in Sofia.

Packages allow travelers to combine major holiday costs like hotels, flights and car hire, making big savings as a result. So don't make unnecessary expenses. Save cash and have more to spend with Bulgaria holiday deals.

When should you book a holiday package to Bulgaria?

January and February are generally the best months to head to Bulgaria's ski resorts, although March and even April can bring bargain rates. The coast is at its best between June and September, but spring breaks can be pleasant and are ideal for visiting Sofia.
