We did a road trip around the country by car. I I left Parisso I flew in Paris to go to Sofia and my friend was taking off of Brussels.

I was the first to arrive at the airport of Sofia. Once I had retrieved my suitcaseI was buy a metro ticket to go to the city center. Once in the center of Sofia, I used Google Maps to find the hotel we had booked. At the hotel, I went to the reception and I spoke with the person at reception who gave me the keys to the room who also gave me a map of the city.

We chatted a bit, and she told me about the sites to visit, of barsof restaurants that could be fun. I took advantage of the day on my own to go for a walk, to begin to visit the city waiting for my friend. In the evening, when she joined me, we went to a restaurant that I had booked during the day. We started with a cocktail and I was able to tell him about my discoveries in the city. We spent three days in Sofia visiting the various cultural sites: museums, churches, parks and to walk around.

We also have tasted to many local specialties. At the end of the three days, we then rented a car to begin to visit the country and especially go to the sea. On the way to the sea, we stopped to visit different villages, different towns or monuments.

For example, we stopped off in a town called Veliko Tarnovo to visit a medieval fortress. We also visited a hilltop monument dating from the Communist era, which looked like an enormous flying saucer. Once we arrived at the sea, we stopped in the city of Balchik.

It's a very touristy town, because there's a castle there, the castle of the former Queen of Romania. She used to spend her seaside vacations here. The castle is surrounded by a huge botanical garden, and both the gardens and the castle overlook the beach and the sea. It's really very beautiful. Afterwards, we went to a seaside resort for a few days. The aim was really to enjoy the beach. So we mainly tannedalways with Sunscreen and an umbrella.

In the evening, we made walks by the sea and we dined in restaurants having cocktails or eating ice cream on the seaside. We then went to an islandor rather a peninsula. It's a very, very, very touristBut once we found some quiet little streets, it was really very pretty. So we spent an evening on this peninsula where we dined in a restaurant overlooking the sea.

It was really beautiful and above all, we got to taste our first and famous Bulgarian yoghurt. It was really delicious. Afterwards, we got back in the car and spent two days in the country's second largest city, Plovdiv. There wasn't much to visit, but we loved the atmosphere, which was very festive. There were lots of young people, lots of little bars and little terrace restaurants. We then took the car back to Sofia to return the car to the rental agency.

We then took advantage of the few hours we had left to return to the places we had really enjoyed, before heading back to the airport to pick up our flight. our flights.
