Bulgaria ↗Bulgaria is in the EU and the Schengen area; the EU Entry/Exit System applies to non-EU visitors. Check the official EU and Bulgarian sources for your passport.
Bulgaria ↗Drivers need an electronic road vignette for national roads outside towns; rental cars normally include it, but check.
Bulgaria ↗Signs and timetables are often only in Cyrillic outside Sofia and the coast; learn the alphabet basics or carry offline translation.
Sofia and the south-west ↗Weather in Vitosha and Rila changes fast, and snow can close roads from late autumn; check forecasts and road conditions before a day trip.
Sofia ↗Use a licensed taxi with the rate posted on the window, or book by app; unmarked cars and drivers who approach you in the arrivals hall overcharge.
Sofia ↗In churches and monasteries, cover shoulders and knees; women may cover their hair, and photography is banned in many interiors.
