Top Tips for that extra special family holiday in Bulgaria
- Try to include a day in the capital, Sofia, to take in the fascinating mix of Greek, Turkish and Byzantine architecture. The kids will also enjoy Sofia’s newest amusement park and the Touch and Pet section at the Balkan’s largest Zoo.
- You don’ t have to go to Canada to go dog sledding or ride on snowmobiles they are available in the Rhodobe Mountains
- Sunny Beach Resort on the Black Sea is especially childfriendly with facilities ranging from 24-hour day care for the youngsters to kids discos and electronic games centres for the older ones. Especially popular is a boat trip to Robinson Crusoe’s deserted island to play games on the beach.
- In the Varna Seaside Park, take the kids to the Dolphinarium where they can see these friendly animals under the water, and enjoy watching their acrobatic skills in the large amphitheatre.
- Going out to eat is rather special in Bulgaria and so restaurants generally have live (and loud) singers and music. It can be a fun evening for all and not expensive. Check with your hotel or local tourist office to find which is the best place for you and the children.
