To travel through Bulgaria is to encounter a hundred landscapes, from the alpine peaks of the Balkan Mountains through deep Macedonian valleys and across the sprawling verdure of the Danubian Plain to the Black Sea at the edge of the continent. While the nation’s post-communist transition to a modern economy hasn’t been easy, it’s the European Union’s newest member and living standards have risen over the last decade.

As Bulgaria makes its slow debut into modern Europe, more and more visitors are drawn to its sandy beaches and picturesque towns. Many Europeans are even buying vacation homes on the coastline and along the cobblestone streets of villages founded in the days of the Empire.
