Bulgaria Named Top Budget Travel Destination 2025

Bulgaria has been named the top budget-friendly travel destination for 2025, offering stunning beaches, rich culture, and vibrant nightlife at exceptional value. Recommended by Laura Evans Fisk from eurochange, Bulgaria's affordability is highlighted by low costs for flights, accommodations, meals, and local beverages. The coastal towns, such as Burgas and Sunny Beach, provide picturesque views along the Black Sea, while the capital, Sofia, offers a culturally immersive experience. A three-course meal and drinks in Burgas can cost as little as £14 per person, and accommodations at Sunny Beach are available for £27 per night. This has resulted in an increase in British tourists visiting Bulgaria, as they seek destinations where their money stretches further. Other budget-friendly options include Turkey and Portugal, but Bulgaria's combination of low prices and beautiful vistas makes it particularly appealing.
