Tourist guide Bulgaria

Conveniently situated in Southeastern Europe, Bulgaria occupies the central part of the Balkan Peninsula and is one of Europe’s hidden treasures. It has always been a connecting point between the East and West, as well as a land of beautiful scenery and hospitable people. The capital of Bulgaria – Sofia offers unique opportunities for combining professional engagements with pleasant rest and interesting places to visit, and is only thirty minutes by car from the ski slopes of the Vitosha mountain. The official body responsible for promoting Sofia as a meeting, incentive, convention, exhibition and special event destination is the Sofia Convention Bureau (SCB). The aim of SCB is to help grow the high-yield business tourism market in the capital by offering a tailor-made advice to event planners in all matters relating to the organization of events. It has become the first point of contact for all foreign national and multinational organizations and provides information on what is happening in the city and what is not to be missed. Member of the EU since 2007, Bulgaria is an ideal destination for meetings and special events. Whether you are looking for the perfect venue or unique incentive opportunities, come and discover for yourself what the country has to offer.
