When to come to Bulgaria?
The season is all year round.
Of course, summer is the best time to go to Bulgaria. The climate is continental and Mediterranean at the same time – it is perfect for sunbathing. The summer season is over 5 months long! The sea temperature reaches even 27°C between June and September. Summer temperatures are often beyond 38°C – this type of sunny weather lasts for about 90 days. It is the best time for those who enjoy the sun, the sea and hot sands.
The Bulgarian summer is also perfect for mountain hiking. It is also the time of relatively cheap fruits [melons, watermelons, peaches and plums] and widely available accommodation. The heat is not particularly bothersome for trekkers – the average July temperature is about 18°C high in the mountains.
Autumn is often very sunny and favors travels all over the country. Beautiful autumn days are perfect for visiting old cities – the holidays outside the seasons are more relaxing and peaceful.
Winter is an ideal time for winter sports fans, especially skiers. The ski resorts are a lure with their diverse offers. Sometimes the snow is still in May and ski runs offer various possibilities of winter recreation. Biting frosts are rare in Bulgaria. Average temperatures reach 2°C in the South and -6°C in the North.
