Explore Bulgaria on an Independent Holiday
If your passion lies in exploring
new cities, look no further than Bulgaria's stunning capital,
Sofia, when planning your bespoke holiday with GRJ independent. A
delightful mix of historic and modern buildings interspersed with
public parks and gardens, laid-back Sofia boasts an abundance of
cultural attractions.
Completed in 1912, the unmissable
Aleksander Nevski Church is an impressive monument to the soldiers
who died defending Bulgaria's independence in the Russo-Turkish War
at the end of the nineteenth century. Equally magnificent is the
former official residence of Bulgaria's royal family: today the
Royal Palace contains the city's National Art Gallery and the
Ethnographical Museum.
Historic buildings aside, Sofia also offers plentiful shopping,
dining and entertainment opportunities and is at the heart of
Bulgaria's modernised rail network which spans 4,000 kilometres of
the country.
Wherever you wish to explore in Bulgaria, from the sun-kissed
holiday resorts of the southern coast to the unspoilt northern
countryside which surrounds the River Danube as it hugs the border
with neighbouring Romania, you'll be able to travel in comfort and
enjoy ever-changing views of this enchanting country. And,
with plenty of opportunities to customise your independent holiday,
from adding luxury hotels to travelling on heritage railways, you
can truly make your experience your own.
