LONDON - 23 June, 2026 - Vincent Bennett today announced the launch of My Bulgaria Trip (mybulgariatrip.com), an independent travel resource dedicated entirely to helping visitors plan a Bulgaria trip with the depth and local knowledge that generic guidebooks miss. The site pairs first-hand travel storytelling with practical, destination-by-destination guides spanning Bulgaria's cities, mountains, Black Sea coast, cuisine and cultural landmarks.
The launch arrives at a pivotal moment for the destination. Bulgaria became a full member of the Schengen Area on 1 January 2025, ending passport checks at its land borders with neighbouring EU states, and adopted the euro on 1 January 2026 as the eurozone's 21st member, at a fixed rate of 1.95583 lev to the euro. Together, the two changes mean most European visitors can now reach Bulgaria without border queues and spend without currency exchange — making a Bulgaria trip easier to reach and simpler to budget than at any point in the country's modern history.
Where much coverage of Bulgaria stops at Sofia's cathedrals and the summer beach resorts, My Bulgaria Trip goes further. Its guides cover the UNESCO wilderness of the Pirin and Rila mountains and the 2,925-metre climb up Musala, the Balkans' highest peak; the medieval former capital of Veliko Tarnovo; Plovdiv's Roman stadium and theatre in one of Europe's oldest continuously inhabited cities; the world's oldest worked gold at the Archaeological Museum in Varna; the Rose Valley, source of a large share of the world's rose oil; and the haunting communist-era monument at Buzludzha. Food and drink get the same treatment, from traditional Bulgarian dishes to the country's wines and rakia.
"Bulgaria is one of Europe's most rewarding destinations and one of its most misunderstood. We built My Bulgaria Trip to give travellers the kind of guidance you usually only get from a friend who lives there — honest, detailed and rooted in the places themselves. With Schengen and the euro now removing the practical barriers, there has never been a better time to plan a Bulgaria trip," said Vincent Bennett CEO, My Bulgaria Trip.
The site currently hosts many in-depth guides organised into clear themes — Urban, Nature, Culture, Cuisine and Monuments — with new destinations added regularly. Every guide is written to be genuinely useful for trip planning, with the context, logistics and local detail travellers need to move beyond the obvious.
My Bulgaria Trip is free to read and accessible to travellers worldwide at mybulgariatrip.com.
