Climate in Bulgaria and weather forecast - best seasons for visit
If you want to book a sightseeing tour to Bulgaria and personally get to know the homeland of the gladiator of Spartacus and the hero of Orpheus, and also enjoy the ancient architecture, it is best to visit the country in the warm months of spring. The best time for excursions is in the middle of April and throughout the month of May. During this period, the weather is not too hot, and there are not many tourists in large cities since the beach season is not yet open. You can also visit the country in autumn, although, during this period there are prolonged rains. It is worth remembering that Bulgaria is considered an Orthodox country that honors its traditions, and holds a huge number of holidays and festivals. If you want to get acquainted with the country’s mentality, you can arrange your visit to coincide with any of these dates; January 8, which is the so-called Babyn day, February 14 (Valentine’s Day), March 1 (Baba Marta), May 1 (May Day), or on June 24 (the solstice day). Also in the country, international festivals are held at different times. For example, in Kushari, there is the children’s art contest held in May. In Dobruja, song and dance festivals are organized, and in Tervel, there are folklore events at the end of September.

Atmosphere of Bulgaria: religion and languages
It is worth noting that in addition to the fairly loyal attitude shown by the local population towards the speakers of other languages, the Constitution of Bulgaria also has in it relevant laws that defines the rights and obligations of citizens. Thus, every citizen of the country is obliged to know and correctly apply the official state language. At the same time, for those people who became qualified citizens of the state despite being born in another state (which is their native), they have the right to use their native language in parallel with the official state language as long as they do not engage in the its distribution. Due to the fact that a rather large percentage of the local population are native speakers of the Turkish language and considers it to be their mother tongue, there are periodically various disturbances in language policy. For example, 8 years ago, mass protests took place in Bulgaria. Activists collected signatures for the sake of holding a referendum. Some residents wanted to be given the opportunity to listen to local Bulgarian television in Turkish. However, the Prime Minister at that time banned the holding of a referendum on this issue.
