Rich in all sorts of cultural events and May. From 8 to 13, the largest fair in the country in Plovdiv is organized annually on which folk craftsmen from all over the country are coming. On May 18, the International Day of Museums is celebrated in Bulgaria, in honor of which the doors of the exposure halls are open for visitors.

National cuisine Bulgaria

Bulgarians are distinguished by addiction to a variety of meat, vegetables and spicy herbs, and among their favorite cooking methods - long-term cooking and quenching. You need to be prepared for the fact that traditional dishes of this kitchen are sharp and fairly fat. Those who want to get closer to get acquainted with local culinary traditions, you must definitely taste:

• khwech - meat stewed with vegetables in a clay pot;
• meat or fish cooked on Skare (Bulgarian grill);
• sac - fried assorted meat, vegetables or their combination;
• chorba - welded, dense soups from different ingredients.

Bulgarian national dairy products - Brynza (Siren) and, actually, sour milk are deserved separately. Brynza add almost all dishes of national cuisine, especially often in salads, stewed or baked vegetables, meat and fish. Bicycle blushing is a refueling to salads, the base for sauces or an independent drink, the cup of which will have to be like never by the way after the saturated experience of the day.

Bulgaria is a country of vineyards, so you can easily create a local spill wine at any restaurant. Almost in almost any such institution, you can taste raki - fruit vodka based on apples, grapes, apricots or peaches, or mastic - anise vodka.

Money of the Republic of Bulgaria

The official monetary unit of the State - Bulgarian Lion (Bng), consisting of 100 steotings - analogue of our kopecks. Within the framework of the monetary council, Lev quotes are inextricably linked to euros course (1 € \u003d 1.95 Bng), which minimizes possible speculation in exchange points. In mid-February 2016, 1 Bulgarian lion cost approximately 44 rubles, but before traveling to the country the course will have to be clarified. In use, besides lev, there are also often American dollars and euros, but they are not taken everywhere, so a reasonable tourist should always have a little national monetary signs. Cashless payments are widespread only in large cities, which again speaks about the need to always have cash with you.

Currency exchange is best done in the United Bank of Bulgaria and other official points, but in no case do not use the services changed, since it is very high probability to be deceived. Rubles are not taken in all points, so the optimal option is to stock up the necessary minimum left or euros in advance. At the same time, it is not worth exchanging too much money, because Bulgarian banks change the leva back to dollars to dollars, it can be done only with a limited amount when leaving the country, besides, at a disadvantageous course.

Accommodation in Bulgaria

A wide selection of good cheap hotels has long been one of the main advantages of Bulgaria in the field of tourism. Hunters for profitable offers do not have long to look for a room at a low price, while lovers of more comfortable rest will not be disappointed: first-class hotels in the cities and beach resorts offer no less convenience than in any other country in the world.

When planning a trip to Bulgaria or any other country, it is important to take care of housing in advance. You can try to independently rent a room or apartment directly from the owners. But think about it in advance, at least a couple of months before the planned trip: In Bulgaria, crazy demand for housing, especially in the season. The choice of hotels is wide in almost all cities of the country: for every taste and size of the wallet.

In general, this is one of the cheapest tourist countries in Europe. The room for two in hotels in small resort towns, such as Kranevo or Pomorie, will cost an average of 30 lips per day (about 15 euros). Accommodation in hotels of more popular resorts depends on the number of stars, for example, double room in hotels of 4 stars will cost about 200 lips per day. The price of a separate house on the seashore ranges in the range of 60-80 Levs. When searching for housing in Bulgaria, you can use the services of proven tourist firms or our site, this will help to avoid fraudsters and guarantees acceptable accommodation conditions.

Camping in Bulgaria is not the best choice, as anywhere, except the Black Sea coast, there are no real amenities for guests in this way. Contact the Bulgarian tourist bureau in Sofia (tel.: 02-987-97-78) for more details. "Wild" rest with tents is illegal.

Hostel

In Bulgaria, many good cheap youth hotels with common bedrooms about 20 lips per day or even less. The best of them are busy at the height of the season, so preliminary booking is recommended.

Transport

Public transport is represented by buses, trolley buses, trams and the only line of the subway line in Sofia. Transport goes around not around the clock, so the schedule must be specified immediately before traveling to Bulgaria. Direct documents are sold at stops, in newsstands or directly from the driver. It is important not to forget to compress tickets, otherwise you can get caught in control and then you have to pay a fine in 1 lion.

If there is an international driver's license, you can rent a car. It will cost approximately 30-60 lips per day, but it is worth considering that the roads in the country's provincial towns are left to desire the best.

Taxi

Bulgarian taxi drivers have once had a reputation of real robbers. Now, thanks to the legislation, all cars are equipped with meters, and drivers (at least in Sofia) are required to issue checks. This does not mean that tourists never "dilute" for extra money; This sometimes happens. But if you save composure and always use a taxi with the name of the company ("Yellow Taxi", tel.: 02-911-19; "Euro Taxi", tel.: 02-910-33; "Sofia Taxi", tel.: 02- 974-47-47; "OK Supertrans", tel.: 02-973-21-21 in Sofia), then travel will be strikingly cheap. Do not expect drivers will speak English, but you can ask for a concierge at the hotel or waiter in the restaurant call a taxi for you.

The railway network is well developed, the tickets are cheap, and trains walk on schedule, although quite slowly. Even expression with optimistic names in Intercity and Expres do not justify expectations. The fastest of five daily trains from Sofia to Varna goes eight and a half hours. If you want to make railway trips, it is better to do it at night in an inexpensive sleeping car (Spalen). Buying tickets can be a time consuming process: you should not expect help from cashiers. It is best to buy tickets in the office "Wasteels", to the left of the entrance to the Sofia Station.

Bus and Taxi.

In Bulgaria, a long-distance bus message is developed, which is indispensable in small mountain villages and towns removed from lively highways. The journey of this type of transport will cost a tourist on average in 9 levs per 100 km. A convenient way to move is a taxi that is easy to learn in Bulgaria on the yellow color of the car and a characteristic checkerel.

Having spent an unforgettable vacation, always want to please close nice gifts and take something for myself in memory of a pleasant rest. Fortunately, the choice of souvenirs in Bulgaria is very large.

With the presents for the beautiful half of humanity, the situation is simpler - be sure to purchase natural Bulgarian cosmetics based on rose extracts. All sorts of creams, lotions, soap, shampoos and much more can be found not only in the vicinity of the roses Valley, but also throughout the country. Elegantly packaged, such gifts will fall to taste every woman.

Men, most likely, will appreciate the souvenir alcohol: Rakia, brandy or wine, insisted according to the best traditional recipes, will allow you to touch the national spirit of this nation.

Pink jam is a delicious souvenir from Bulgaria, sold in almost any grocery store. A characteristic pleasant taste will still be reminded of this hospitable country.

Charine Sol - favorite Bulgarian seasoning, which is a salt mixed with spices. It is perfect for any dishes, has an unusual and aesthetic appearance.

Tablecloths, napkins, small mats, woven from the finest sheep wool and decorated with ethnic embroidery - a great gift that can make a highlight to the interior. But behind such souvenirs most likely you will have to go to small villages at the foot of the mountains.

Wooden and ceramic handmade dishes with Vitivaty patterns will have to do with any hostess, and the clay pots with thick walls are suitable for the preparation of stewed meat and vegetables - perhaps even on the recipes of Bulgarian cuisine.

Also in Bulgaria, in almost every step, you can purchase classical souvenirs: magnets, key rings, t-shirts, small statuettes, etc. The only advice for tourists - Try not to postpone the acquisition of gifts for the last day: at airports and train stations the cost is significantly overestimated, and the choice is limited.

Bulgaria's customs service is quite loyal, therefore there are significant restrictions on the export of goods, except for all countries ban on the transport of weapons, prohibited drug or easily flammable substances, as well as subjects representing historical value.

clothing

The Bulgarian has little prejudice about clothes, but note that local women cover their heads when entering the church or the cathedral, although foreigners are not obliged to do the same. If you were invited to the Bulgarian house, you need to remove shoes or at least offer it to do.

Bicycles for rent

Bicycle sports in Bulgaria is not popular, and there are almost no cyclists in cities. At ski resorts, such as Vitosh, Bansko, Pamporovo and Borovets, you can rent mountain bikes in large hotels in about 20 lips per day, leaving a credit card as collateral. In large hotels on the Black Sea coast also provide rental bicycles.

Car rental

In order to see the best in Bulgaria, it is recommended to rent a car for one to two days, but this is relatively expensive pleasure: prices start from about 120 lips per day. However, gasoline costs cheaply. All the main rental companies have branches throughout the country, including Varna and Sofia airports and the car can be rented in most major hotels. Roads are generally in poor condition, and night trips can be dangerous.

Another opportunity is to rent a car with a driver. To do this, it is better to approach a taxi shove in a big city, to ask if he is free, and then agree on the price. You are unlikely to refuse, and you can find a common language about 100 leftions per day plus gasoline costs, food and overnight.

Driving

In Bulgaria, a right-hand movement, although in rural areas, they look at such rules at best through the fingers. If you brought a car in Bulgaria, you need to have a driver's license and proof of international insurance coverage (green card).

Those who forgot to do this can buy insurance at the border. In your passport put a stamp confirming that you arrived by car. If you try to leave the country in any other way, you will have to explain what happened to the car.

Movement for big cities is no worse and no better than in most other countries, but outside the city is different. In Bulgaria, there are only two real highways: Sofia - Plovdiv (partly) and Sofia - Praveth, and on both the road duty will be charged. Other roads between cities are mostly two- or single-band. The roads are generally poorly equipped with pointers, so stocking a detailed map or navigator. Road covering is uneven, and not everywhere there is lighting, so be careful at night. Driving through the villages, beware of the random gypsy wagons and wanderings without supervision of animals. The speed limit is 60 km / h in cities, 80 km / h on open roads and 120 km / h on highways, although Bulgarians pay little attention to it.

Information for disabled

Bulgaria makes huge steps towards the comfortable placement of travelers with limited physical abilities, but the movement remains difficult. Sofia is ahead of the rest: simple ramps for wheelchairs are in many public areas, museums and other attractions, as well as at the metro station. On the Black Sea coast, there are many hotels where you can take care of disabled tourists. At mountain resorts and in other cities, things are more difficult.
