Travel, Constitution, Climate
UK citizens are now allowed a 90 day stay in Bulgaria within any 6 month period without having to apply for a visa.

Bulgaria has four international airports, the biggest being Sophia. The others are situated in Plovdiv and the two coastal towns of Bourgas and Varna. There is also an extensive network of road and train services, with local buses and taxis in every town. The bigger towns, resorts and airports have subsidiaries of the international rent-a-car companies for those who are more adventurous.

The Republic of Bulgaria has a President, not a Royal family as in Great Britain, who is elected to office every five years, but not for more than two terms. Under the President is the Government with an elected Prime Minister and Council of ministers and then there are the Municipalities (local Governments) who are ruled by a Mayor.

The acting Constitution of the Republic of Bulgaria was adopted in July 1991. It provides a multi-party parliamentary system and free elections, in which all the citizens of the Republic of Bulgaria take part with the right to vote.

The climate is predominantly moderate and transitional continental with approximately 2,400 hours of sunlight per year. It has four seasons with dry hot summers. Bulgaria has something for everyone’s taste, with activity holidays – skiing, climbing, riding, hunting and fishing. For those who wish to relax, there are the beautiful beaches, healing spas, amazing nature and hospitable and friendly people in the towns and villages.

All accommodation in Bulgaria has been categorized on the 5-star international system. Privatisation has had a favourable impact and today the country is proud of its many luxurious hotels and restaurants serving tempting cuisine and fine Bulgarian wines which meet the modern world standards.
