Visit the country in May and June to see the colorful harvest.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Yogurt \u2013 The yogurt in Bulgaria is reportedly the best in the world, with a unique taste because the bacteria used to make it, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, is only found naturally in Bulgarian air. Try the thick sheep yogurt made in the mountains with honey or fruit jam dripped on top.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Nod \u2013 When asking a Bulgarian a question, you might be confused with his reply. In the country, nodding one\u2019s head up and down indicates a negative response, while shaking your head horizontally actually means \u2018no\u2019.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Cyrillic \u2013 Bulgarians read and write using the Cyrillic alphabet, and the country is the origin of the alphabet, having adopted its use before Russia.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Gold \u2013 The oldest gold treasure in the world was discovered at a burial site west of Varna, not far from the Black Sea.

The country is also a wonderful store of natural wealth. The country is filled with mountains, lowlands near the Danube river, rich farmland, and sandy beaches along the Black Sea Coast. The oldest gold treasure in the world was found in Bulgaria. What is more, Bulgaria is the country with the highest number of natural mineral springs in Continental Europe \u2013 over 600.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Sofia is the capital and largest city in Bulgaria. This is where there are many historical and cultural heritages. Away from the buildings and boulevards, vast parks and manicured gardens offer a welcome respite, and the ski slopes and hiking trails of mighty Mountain Vitosha are just a short bus ride from the center. Home to many of Bulgaria\u2019s finest museums, galleries, restaurants and clubs, Sofia may persuade you to stick around and explore further. National Museum of History is the perfect place for you to go.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Land of the lavender and home to the Damascena Rose, Bulgaria offers unsurpassed sights and breathtaking nature. 1330 years of existence left historical traces at every step you take.
