Sofia Airport – A relaxed and interesting city, the capital of Sofia is home to some wonderful Orthodox churches such as the St Alexander Nevsky Cathedral whose green domes dominate the surrounding area. If you’re more interested in Ottoman mosques, the Banya Bashi mosque is a fabulous example and was built over a natural thermal spa. If you’re here for the skiing, the stunning Rhodope, Rila, and Vitosha Mountains are all just short drives away.
Plovdiv Airport – History is a central theme for the city of Plovdiv although its stunning location is a close second. Surrounded by a number of hills, four are of particular interest and worth exploring. The Old Town has been restored to its former 19th century glory and there are reminders of Roman, Thracian, and Byzantine influences, including the still used Roman amphitheatre.
Varna Airport - Perfectly placed to explore the Black Sea coastline, Varna is known for the Roman baths and fascinating museums. If you’d rather get out and about, the Golden Sands (or Zlatni Pyasâtsi) resort is nearby and offers gorgeous scenery. The historical city of Nessebar is also worthy of a visit.
