Bulgaria

By Travelog Editorial Team ยท Updated August 8, 2026

Bulgaria is live on Travelog with two cities: Sofia, home to Boyana Church, UNESCO-listed in 1979 and limited to just 9 visitors inside at once to protect its 13th-century frescoes, and Nessebar, a Black Sea peninsula old town UNESCO listed in 1983 for its dense concentration of historic churches.

Sofia and Nessebar earned UNESCO recognition four years apart, 1979 and 1983, for genuinely different reasons: Boyana Church for one small, fresco-filled building whose access is now deliberately restricted to protect it, Nessebar for an entire peninsula town dense with historic churches. Both cities and their landmark pages are live now.

  • Sofia City Province Boyana Church, UNESCO-listed in 1979, limited to 9 visitors at a time and 10-minute visits to protect its 13th-century frescoes.
  • Burgas Province Nessebar's Black Sea peninsula old town, UNESCO-listed in 1983, with a combined four-church ticket.
