Bulgaria is a Balkans country on the western side of the Black Sea, it has a wealth of attractions, from dramatic mountain ranges and sublime beaches to stunning historic towns and villages with intriguing traditions. With everything that it has to offer, Bulgaria is one of the few exotic nations in Europe. Although the country is on the radar of most tourists, it is actually a very popular destination for medical tourism and wellness. Medical tourists can enjoy the best of both worlds – world-class medical treatments, with highly qualified medical professionals, at surprisingly affordable prices. While cosmetic surgery and dentistry are among the most sought-after procedures, many medical tourists also come to Bulgaria for its natural spas, which are rich in minerals that have healing and rejuvenating properties.
Bulgaria’s dynamic capital, Sofia, is filled with interesting museums, communist architecture, Eastern Orthodox churches, and trendy galleries. While it is not a grand metropolis, Sofia is modern and youthful, and it has its fair share of clubs, restaurants, and parks.

Along with Sofia and Plovdiv, Varna is also a popular destination, particularly for those who want to relax at the beach.
