Discover Bulgaria
Culture and art
Bulgaria - a unique cultural and artistic treasury, with traces of Thracian, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman heritage layered into living towns and museums.
The Story
What to know.
Few countries pack as much layered history into so small a space. Thracian tombs, Roman amphitheatres, Byzantine churches and Ottoman-era architecture sit side by side, often within the same town - a living timeline you can walk through in an afternoon.
The Rila Monastery, with its vividly painted arches and frescoes, is one of the country's most striking sights, while UNESCO-listed old towns like Nessebar and Plovdiv reveal centuries of trade, faith and craftsmanship in their streets.
Museums, galleries and open-air heritage villages across the country make it easy to go deeper - and many are a comfortable day trip from the coast, whichever resort you're staying in.
