Bulgaria is also the perfect budget-friendly destination and here you can find travel guides on how to spend your time in Bulgaria’s capital, Sofia.
- 📍Estonia – I can’t stop thinking about my time in this medieval haven! Tallinn’s unique charm and stunning architecture left me in awe. The coffee scene is amazing, and I’m already planning my next trip to explore even more of this beautiful country.
