The Rough Guide to Bulgaria (Rough Guide Travel Guides) by Jonathan Bousfield (2-Jun-2008) Paperback

by Jonathan Bousfield

This is the 5th edition of this very successful title so represents 15 years of accumulated travel experience to this little-known but deeply rewarding country. Over this period the Rough Guide has established itself as the agenda-setting book which consistently opens up new destinations and new aspects of Bulgarian tourism—from the remote Belogadchik region to the white sand beaches of the southern Black Sea coast. The Rough Guide is written and researched by people who have lived in Bulgaria, and so provides deeply insightful accounts of all the regions and their attractions. As ever, this is a guide for independent travellers on any budget, with accommodation listings ranging from the film stars' favourite, Castle Hrankov in Sofia, to local campsites.

[Jemma · Rating 3 out of 5]

A good, comprehensive guide as you would expect from Rough Guides. Reading it feels like a trip there. Would score higher but despite their best efforts, there is only so much of interest that you can find in Bulgaria. Some is clearly filler, such as the details of Bulgarian music - did you know that the best place to find it is Bulgaria? Well, get away with you, that's amazing! Still, much good stuff on the history, folklore, peoples and places of the region.
