    Helpful hints:

    When travelling to Bulgaria please be aware that it is advisable to make sure you have cash on you at all times, as you may find it difficult to pay for things by credit card, as a lot of shops and restaurants do not have the facility to accept them. This includes the airport duty free section!

    Make sure that you are not over charged for your taxi at the airport, it is best to find out before you agree a fare roughly what you should be paying. Always agree the fare before entering the taxi.

    Out of season you may struggle slightly with a language barrier in some areas of Bulgaria, therefore a phrase book maybe helpful.
