Car Hire Bulgaria

Bulgaria is rapidly becoming a popular tourist destination thanks to its relatively low prices in comparison with western European resorts; currently more than seven million visitors go to Bulgaria each year. A Budget hire car will allow you to see much of this fabulous country, granting access to the myriad historical attractions, areas of natural beauty and the plentiful beach and ski resorts. The Black Sea coast is stunning, full of golden sandy beaches that, thanks to a gentle gradient are safe even for younger swimmers. The majority of the beaches in Bulgaria have been awarded an EU Blue Flag for their cleanliness and environmental excellence. Temperatures are in the main, moderate and not as hot as much of the Mediterranean meaning that touring this marvellous stretch of coast is comfortable. For those thinking of buying property or heading to Bulgaria on a regular basis it may be worth enquiring about Budget's 'Go Overseas' programme that provides regular users with great deals and loyalty benefits.

Car Rental Bulgaria

In the winter months, skiing becomes a popular pastime in Bulgaria for locals and tourists. Heading into the mountains presents the traveller with outstandingly beautiful vistas while the skiing will suit all skill levels. If heading on a skiing holiday it may be worth looking at the larger cars in the Budget rental range to accommodate all of that extra equipment. It is not just sporting activities that should entice you to Bulgaria. As a major crossroads, the country has built up a rich and diverse heritage with many civilisations laying claim to the area over the centuries. Of special interest to history buffs should be the Roman amphitheatre in Plovdiv, the largest remaining Roman site in the entire country. Today it still hosts plays and performances for tourists. Another fascinating site in Bulgaria is the Rila Monastery; located in the Rila Mountains it was founded in the tenth century and remains the largest Eastern Orthodox monastery in the country, a must see for tourists.

Bulgaria

The capital city of Bulgaria, Sofia is definitely worth visiting when in the country. As one of the oldest cities in Europe it is full of history and amazing pieces of architecture. The city has a distinctly spiritual feel with many of the attractions being places of worship. Worthy of note is the Church of St George, built during the fourth century and reputed to be the oldest building in the capital. As well as this rather understated place of worship there is the more opulent and extravagant Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, with golden domes that reach 45 metres high it is certainly one of the grandest buildings in Sofia and stands testament to the country's spiritual devotion. Whether visiting the historical cities, touring the remarkable countryside or heading along the beautiful Black Sea coast, a Budget hire car will help you get the most form your trip. For those with the foresight to book early, even better deals are available.
