Hisar

The chemical composition of the town’s water is said to assist with urinary infections, gastric maladies, and kidney problems. The town is a composite picture of older hotels renovated to meet modern standards and newer, smaller hotels. Considered a balneotherapy holiday resort, the town is also popular because it is midway between the cosmopolitan city of Sofia and the beautiful seaside towns.
Sophia
Sofia, in Western Bulgaria, nestled by Mount Vitosha, is the capital city. The 12th largest city in the European Union, it is home to 1.4 million people. It’s a city of contrasts: the prehistoric settlements close to the royal palace date back to the 7th Century Thracians whilst the city’s administrative, educational, and commercial buildings speak of the dynamic modern progress of Bulgaria. Perhaps one of the best way to capture the historical beauty of this city is to stay in the Sheraton Sofia Hotel Balkan. In the heart of the city, it is one of the city’s grand hotels and an architectural landmark.
Bourgas
Bourgas, in the south-east, the fourth biggest city has a temperate climate influenced by its proximity to the Black Sea. Although a fascinating city near the Black Sea in its own right, it is often viewed as a gateway to more southern Black Sea towns like Dyuni, Nessebar, and Sozopol, especially since it has an international airport.
Bansko
Bansko is a ski resort with multi-million euros invested in it. Massive, ultra-modern hotels, holiday apartments and lavish ski areas make this a much popular destination for those who love winter sports.
