What are the surprising places in Bulgaria, a small and unpopular country in Europe?

When traveling in Europe, I think of all the popular countries, and some small countries that few people can discover. Bulgaria is one of them. If you want to be interested in a country you have never heard of, the first thing is to discover it. The interesting thing about it is that Bulgaria has a very interesting custom, which is completely opposite to the usual nodding and shaking of our heads to express approval and denial. If you come to this country, you must remember this custom, otherwise you will make a joke accidentally.

Bulgaria is the oldest country on the European continent. It appeared on the continental plate thousands of years earlier than ancient Greece. However, it is not as good as the well-known mainstream European countries. Its capital, Sofia, is the largest city in the country. This city is the center of the country, so you must not know that Sofia was built on the monuments of the Roman Empire.

Sofia is not as rigid and serious as the capital city, but has a touch of tranquility and elegance. Sofia is also a world-famous garden city. There are many boulevards in the city, and gardens can be seen everywhere. Set against the colorful flowers and trees, the tone of the buildings is mainly white and light yellow.

Sofia is also a food city loved by foodies. Instead of dining in those expensive restaurants, it is better to go to the food stalls on the streets of Sofia to find delicious food. There are so many food stalls in Sofia and there are so many varieties that it is no problem to spend a whole day just visiting the food stalls.

If you love wine, you must go to Melnik, the smallest town in Bulgaria. The wine museum is worth a visit. You will see many precious wines, and many wineries provide accommodation services. Maybe you like the wine of a winery and you may stay at their house. The Golden Grape Festival is also held here. If you want to participate, you must come at the right time, otherwise you will have to wait for next year if you miss it.
