The Tour of Bulgaria is an annual international professional bicycle race held in Bulgaria that was first staged on 21 August 1924 . It is part of UCI Europe Tour and is category 2.2 . The race covers about 1,500 kilometres and lasts two weeks . As of 2017 , 66 editions were held . The longest length of the race was in 1949 - 1905 km . The course changes every year , but the race has always started in Sofia . In the race , cyclists from more than 40 countries have been competing . During the Cold War , the Tour of Bulgaria was one of the most prestigious cycling races in Europe , drawing skilled cyclists from the countries that traditionally produce strong racers , such as Italy , France and Netherlands . Although after the changes in 1989 the race lost some of its prestige for the cyclists in the peloton , nowadays it becomes more and more attractive for them . For example , in 2010 Francisco Mancebo who finished second in the 2004 Vuelta a España and fourth in the 2005 Tour de France , competed in it but only succeeded to finish third after the Bulgarian Krasimir Vasilev and Ricardo Mestre . In 2017 , the race was split into two three-day races based on geographical location .
Bulgaria ( /bʌlˈɡɛəriə , bʊl-/ ( listen ) ; Bulgarian : България , romanized : Balgariya ) , officially the Republic of Bulgaria ( Bulgarian : Република България , romanized : Republika Balgariya , IPA : [ rɛˈpublikɐ bɐɫˈɡarijɐ ] ) , is a country in Southeast Europe . It is bordered by Romania to the north , Serbia and North Macedonia to the west , Greece and Turkey to the south , and the Black Sea to the east . The capital and largest city is Sofia ; other major cities are Plovdiv , Varna and Burgas . With a territory of 110,994 square kilometres ( 42,855 sq mi ) , Bulgaria is Europe 's 16th-largest country . One of the earliest societies in the lands of modern-day Bulgaria was the Neolithic Karanovo culture , which dates back to 6,500 BC . In the 6th to 3rd century BC the region was a battleground for Thracians , Persians , Celts and ancient Macedonians ; stability came when the Roman Empire conquered the region in AD 45 . The Eastern Roman , or Byzantine , Empire lost some of these territories to an invading Bulgar horde in the late 7th century . The Bulgars founded the First Bulgarian Empire in AD 681 , which dominated most of the Balkans and significantly influenced Slavic cultures by developing the Cyrillic script . This state lasted until the early 11th century , when Byzantine emperor Basil II conquered and dismantled it . A successful Bulgarian revolt in 1185 established a Second Bulgarian Empire , which reached its apex under Ivan Asen II ( 1218-1241 ) . After numerous exhausting wars and feudal strife , the Second Bulgarian Empire disintegrated in 1396 and its territories fell under Ottoman rule for nearly five centuries . The Russo-Turkish War of 1877-78 resulted in the formation of the current Third Bulgarian State .
