Fully updated for this third edition by expert author Annie Kay (for over 10 years Chairman of the British-Bulgarian Society and a part-time resident of Sofia), Bradt's Bulgaria offers a comprehensive guide to this increasingly popular country. Detailed background information is combined with everything from tips on the best hotels and mehanas to hiking through the Rila Mountains in search of brown bear or simply strolling around Nesebur's harbour. Bradt's Bulgaria also offers better coverage of the country's compelling natural history than any other guide.

New for this edition are greater coverage of outdoor activities and adventure trips, a fresh perspective on Bulgaria's burgeoning music scene and nightlife, significantly increased coverage of food and wine - including winery tours, the local grapes, and some on site restaurants and hotels - plus the benefit of new contributions from locals sharing their inside knowledge of local towns. Bulgaria has a history and culture as rich and diverse as its landscape. From the gold-domed churches of Sofia to the picturesque National Revival houses of Koprivshtitsa, mountain monasteries to medieval fortresses and ancient rock formations, the country boasts an eclectic mix of traditions and architecture.

Recent archaeological discoveries are detailed in this new edition, along with Bulgaria's participation in the European rewilding scheme. From Plovdiv's UNESCO-listed Old Town to the frescoes of Rila Monastery, skiing to eagle spotting in Pirin National Park, elegant Ruse to the beaches of the Black Sea coast, or the former capital of Veliko Turnovo to the famous mountain town of Koprivshtitsa, Bradt's Bulgaria is the ideal companion for a perfect trip.

En reise til de vakreste kirkene og klostrene øst i Europa – fra Jerusalem til Finnmark.

Dette er en annerledes reisebok om de skjønneste kirker og klostre øst i Europa. Forfatter Richard Bærug har pirket i fasaden og kommet tett på menneskene. Hvem er de, disse munkene og nonnene, prestene og andre troende? Hva kan ortodokse, katolikker og protestanter åndelig gi oss i dag?

Østkirken står midt oppe i det kanskje største bruddet på nærmere tusen år. Den russisk-ortodokse kirken, der prestene i sovjettiden nesten ble utryddet og lederne stadig mer kontrollert av KGB, brøt i 2018 med moderkirken i Konstantinopel. Gjennom samtaler med troende rulles mangfoldet og det historiske lappeteppet ut, preget av dragkampen mellom troen på Gud og maktambisjonene til politiske ledere.
Mellom søken etter sannhet og gevinster fra løgner og legender.

Bli med på en dramatisk, men ytterst vakker reise fra Jerusalem gjennom Armenia, Georgia, Tyrkia, Kypros, Athos, Hellas, Bulgaria, Romania, Moldova, Ukraina, Belarus (Hviterussland), Litauen, Latvia, Estland, Russland, Finland og Norge.

Road network includes selected unsurfaced local roads and 4WD tracks, indicates locations of border crossings and shows driving distances on main routes.

National parks and protected areas are marked and symbols highlight various places of interest: picturesque towns and villages, campsites, UNESCO World Heritage sites, archaeological remains and museums, churches and monasteries of various denominations, viewpoints, beaches, etc. The map has a latitude and longitude grid at intervals of 30’ and an index of localities. Map legend includes English.

I denne ekstraordinære reportasjeboken, vender Kapka Kassabova tilbake til Bulgaria, landet hun emigrerte fra tjuefem år tidligere. Hun er der for å utforske grensen landet deler med Tyrkia og Hellas. Da hun var barn var det enklere å komme seg inn i Vesten her enn over Berlinmuren der det myldret av soldater og spioner. Kassabova kommer tilbake til en grense som har blitt formet av historiekreftene. Boken hennes består av utsøkte portretter av smuglere, skattejegere, botanikere og grensevakter. Det er også de fillete menn og kvinner som har vandret over Tyrkia fra Syria og Irak. Men det ser ut til å være ikke -menneskelige krefter i arbeid også her: Dette tett skogkledde landskapet er rikt på helbredende kilder og tragiske gravlunder, og den antikke verdens fortid er aldri langt unna.

Grensen er en glimrende, oppslukende reisefortelling som også viser frem skyggesiden av den kalde krigen og et skråblikk på migrasjonskrisen som plager Europa.

A magical, eye-opening account of a journey into a Europe that rarely makes the news and is in danger of being erased altogether. Another Europe. A Europe few people believe exists and many wish didn't.

Muslim Europe. Winner of a BGTW Members' Excellence Award: Travel Narrative Book of the Year - The Adele Evans Award. Longlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize 2021.

Shortlisted in the Edward Stanford Travel Writing Awards 2022: Stanford Dolman Travel Book of the Year. Londoner Tharik Hussain sets off with his wife and young daughters around the Western Balkans, home to the largest indigenous Muslim population in Europe, and explores the regions of Eastern Europe where Islam has shaped places and people for more than half a millennium. Encountering blonde-haired, blue-eyed Muslims, visiting mystical Islamic lodges clinging to the side of mountains, and praying in mosques older than the Sistine Chapel, he paints a picture of a hidden Muslim Europe, a vibrant place with a breathtaking history, spellbinding culture and unique identity.

Minarets in The Mountains, the first English travel narrative by a Muslim writer on this subject, also explores the historical roots of European Islamophobia. Tharik and his family learn lessons about themselves and their own identity as Britons, Europeans and Muslims. Following in the footsteps of renowned Ottoman traveller Evliya Celebi, they remind us that Europe is as Muslim as it is Christian, Jewish or pagan.

ITM har kart over hele verden og de spesialiserer seg på land litt utenfor allfarvei. Beliggenheten til landets nasjonalparker, historiske monumenter, de viktigste veiene o.L. Finner du inkludert i kartene. Samtlige landkart har ofte et bykart over hovedstaden.

Fra ITM: We spent a week in Bulgaria in 2019, driving the roads, staying in towns around the country, and visiting attractions. The result of all this effort was to update our data for a new map of Bulgaria. This is a country that has been transformed by its entry into the European Union. Touristically, the country has benefitted by new investments in resort accommodations and by improvements to touristic attractions. The country is quite affordable to visit, the people are friendly, the weather is pleasant, the roads are generally very good, and accommodations are equal to other parts of Europe. We have changed the name somewhat to place an emphasis on rail travel. In concert with changing travel patterns, Bulgaria is renovating its passenger rail service, so we have included all lines carrying passengers. We have also updated the motorway network of the country. We have added a Top Attractions list to the artwork, and have updated the large inset map of Sofia. Provincial boundaries have not been included, as these are mostly local administrations, but the names have been included, as they are commonly used within the country.

From Belgrade to The Black Sea. In this fifth part of the Danube Bike Trail series a 1,400 kilometre long, adventurous journey from Belgrade to the Black Sea awaits you. The legacies of a long and tumultuous history, wonderful natural landscapes and humble rural villages make this tour a unique experience. The Belgrade fortress, the Kalemegdan, the Iron Gate, the undulating hilly landscapes of Bulgaria and Romania and the numerous archaeological excavations and ruins of past empires are only some of the highlights of this journey.

For much of the way you have a choice of riding on the northern or southern bank of the Danube, while you can either ride the last section in Romania to Tulcea along the Danube or via the harbour city of Constanta and the Black Sea coast. From Tulcea you can take a river cruise to the delta and the mouth of the Danube at kilometre zero.

A Captivating Guide to a Shortened History of Russia, Ukraine, Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Moldova, Belarus, and Romania

How much Eastern European history do you know?

The story of Eastern Europe is one of successes and failures, competing interests, and the rise and fall of states and empires. The ancient Greek and Roman empires knew the importance of Eastern Europe for trade and settlement. Later, during the Migration Period, also known as the "Barbarian Invasions," Eastern Europe became the stomping grounds for many people groups. The Visigoths, Huns, Slavs, and central Asian Turkic tribes like the Avars and Khazars all made their way into Eastern Europe.

With so many people moving in, the first states started to rise. Some of them would break apart as soon as they started, while others would form full-fledged empires. The medieval period would see some of the greatest empires of European history, like Kievan Rus, the Bulgarian Empire, Serbia, and the German Crusader states. By the early modern period, these great states would be replaced by Russia, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and the Ottoman Empire.

In the coming centuries, the rise of Russia, Austria, and Prussia would spell doom for the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and the Ottomans would keep pressing into Eastern Europe. The 19th century would lay the foundations for the outbreak of World War I, which would itself lead to World War II. In the aftermath, Eastern Europe became part of the Eastern Bloc, which was dominated by the USSR until the fall of communism nearly five decades later. This book extends past contemporary histories of Eastern Europe, which usually end at the fall of the Berlin Wall, to cover more recent events, including the conflicts in Bosnia and Kosovo and the 2014 Crimean crisis.

In this book, you will learn about:

The Greek and Roman influence in Eastern Europe
The Migration Period, aka the "Barbarian Invasions"
Charlemagne and the Holy Roman Empire
The Mongol invasions
Christian Europe vs. the Ottoman Empire
The fall of Constantinople
The rise of Russia and its famous rulers, like Ivan the Terrible and Catherine the Great
The path to World War I and World War II
The Jewish experience in Eastern Europe
The Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc
The fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of communism
The conflicts in Bosnia and Kosovo
The 2014 Russian annexation of Crimea
