Bulgaria

Most underdeveloped country in Europe

Year Visited

2024, but before several times

In

Only few road border crossings. Few ferry border crossings on Danube. Sea border crossings in Burgas and Varna. 

First Money

No problem to find ATMs in cities and places.

First Transport

I don’t have information about public transport.

Inland Transport

Ugly. They ride like idiots. Very aggressively and ruthlessly. Their roads are in terrible state, but if they have somewhere few meters of not destroyed asphalt, they have there speed bumpers and speed cameras. On the roads, they have such pits that, when it rains, small children can swim in them.

Accomodation

Use booking.com, many apartments but also hotels but at average level. Do not expect anything special.

Shopping

Many shops for everything you need. No problem to pay with card anywhere. Now they use Euros.

Eating, drinking

Water is drinkable.

Food is at very good level everywhere.

In some supermarkets they offer cooked food in very good taste.
