Ryan Sterzinger
The eastern European country of Bulgaria is a hidden gem located between the Balkans and the Black Sea. It’s a great off-the-beaten-path destination where you can easily avoid the mainstream tourist crowds. The capital city of Sofia is centrally located, and it’s a great base for your trip to Bulgaria. A small country, you're never more than two hours from all of these places that have historical, cultural and natural beauty. You’ll be able to take trains, buses or rent cars to drive to nearby sites from Sofia. Coming back to Sofia each night is a blast as there are loads of great dining and nightlife establishments.
