Bulgaria
Bulgaria is known for its rich history, which stretches back over 6,000 years and is on display everywhere you look, ranging from sacred religious buildings with beautiful architectural styles and colorful art to the hundreds of fortresses and historic ruins, from which some famous legends and myths were born. Bulgaria is one of the most popular beach destinations in Europe, with hundreds of miles of glittering coastline. It's also known for its winter sporting opportunities in some of the most glamorous and affordable ski resorts east of Switzerland.
Serbia
Serbia is a fascinating country with a turbulent history. Its visitors will be surprised by the wide variety of architectural styles ranging from Romanesque to Gothic, from Renaissance to baroque. There are many great monuments including fortresses, ancient churches, Byzantine-style basilicas, and Roman amphitheaters waiting to be discovered. Tourism in Serbia is mostly focused on the villages and mountains of the country. The most famous mountain resorts are Zlatibor, Kopaonik, and Tara. There are also many spas in Serbia, one the biggest is Vrnjaeka Banja. The largest cities like Belgrade, Novi Sad, and Nis, attract many tourists, but so do rural parts of Serbia like the volcanic wonder of Davolja varos, Christian pilgrimages across the country, and cruises along the Danube, Sava, or Tisza.
Romania
Romania is well-known for its rich history, dating back before the time of the Greeks and Romans. Ruins from days gone by, ranging from Roman structures in Alba Iulia to remnants of Communism in Bucharest, are vivid illustrations of life in Romania through the years. Whether the museums are open-air or in exhibition halls, these are fun ways to learn more about Romanian history and folk culture.
