If you’d like to witness Bulgaria’s festivals, and if you enjoy hiking, you should go during the summer months, which starts from the middle of June until the early part of September. You’ll be able to enjoy exciting summer activities in Bulgaria during these months, but you also have to get ready for the peak season rates in most of the tourist spots.
