Bulgarian Traditions and Ethnography
 Roots and customs

Bulgaria has traditions dating back over 2 millennia. The country has a wealth of mysterious Thracian treasures and burial tombs, magnificent frescos and many brilliant examples of ancient arts.

Ethnographic museums in almost every town store and study hundreds of thousands of exhibits of the ancient past of Bulgaria - folk costumes, fabrics, intricate embroidery, superbly fashioned jewellery, finely ornamented woodcarvings and fretwork, hammered ironwork, etc. Small craftshops sell crafts, costumes and musical instruments from all over Bulgaria.
