Summer is perfect on the Black Sea Coast, in any of those modern seaside resorts where you can lie on the beach or by a luxurious swimming pool, compete with the waves of the sea or simply relax in the sauna of a 5-star hotel, taste exquisite dishes in one of the restaurants of the big hotels or the local cuisine in a small tavern, have a lot of fun at sports competition by the sea or get rid of a couple of kilos in one of those hot discos at night.
Winter welcomes you with wonderfully equipped mountain resorts and hot drinks and dishes when the skiing day is over, smashing night clubs and so many other attractions for you and your children alike.
If you are after sightseeing only, you can visit the capital city all the year round. It is an old and wonderful European landmark with hundreds of years of history behind. For those who love traveling, a tour of the most important cities and cultural centers would be just what they need.
For young people in search of adventure, Bulgaria will be the perfect place on earth. You can find summer camps in several parts of the country, offering you beautiful landscapes and good accommodation for a fortnight, in which you will certainly get to know nice people of your age from different parts of Europe and have an opportunity to explore the beauties of the country beyond the limits of your camp.
Are you planning to backpack throughout the country? This seems a very popular way for young people to visit new places and get to know new cultures and people.

Moreover, trying most of the local dishes as they make them at home will be an unforgettable experience. By the time you leave the place, you will have crammed your rucksack with dozens of recipes that you swear to keep for the rest of your days. You will just fall in love with those savory dishes made from juicy naturally grown vegetables and so many types of meat as well as with the desserts that bear the mark of other peoples who have at times passed or lived in that part of Europe.
