4. Bulgaria

Small towns such as Varna on the coast, and ancient cities such as Plovdiv offer rich culture and beautiful vistas. There are also many exquisite mountain ranges that you can discover on foot or by bicycle.

Cambodia is rich in culture and history, with many iconic historical sites, such as the Angkor Wat Archaeological Park, which is a UNESCO World heritage site, and has been declared an official Wonder of the World. At $63, the three-day ticket to the park is a bit pricier in comparison to other costs in Cambodia, but when spread out over the three days, it works out to be well worth it – there are so many temples to see, and a one day pass is a bit short to see it all.
