Sports

Opportunities to get fit and let off steam at the same time in Bulgaria are widely available. Prices are reasonable compared to those in Western Europe.
Tennis clubs abound, all offering instruction, with squash also increasing in popularity. All cities have gyms that also offer sessions with instructors focusing on aerobics, tae bo, dance and callisthenics, to name just a few. Most centres also offer other services like sauna, massage and solarium. Prices vary from one fitness club to the next, depending on the equipment available, instructors and location.
Most major hotels have their own health centres, offering fitness and sport opportunities, as well as cosmetic and aesthetic procedures.
Outdoor sports are big here: skiing, snowboarding, climbing, mountain biking and paragliding in the fantastic mountain ranges, kayaking in the rivers, and at the Black Sea you can choose between diving, windsurfing, waterskiing and other more extreme sports.
Golf is also entering in a big way, with three courses already opened and a whole array of new ones under construction at the Black Sea and the mountain resort of Bansko.
