Solo travel experience

I went to Bulgaria last summer (Sofia for 3 nights) and it was so nice! I only paid for my accommodation they have free tours daily, I did a few different ones! I think there was a communist one, a food and drink one, and a general one! I also hiked the mountain there which was also free and there was a guide! Overall lovely place and friendly people.

Solo travel experience

I went to Bulgaria last May. I stayed in Plovdid which is a very nice town. From there I rented a car and went to Sofia in one day. I felt very safe.
