Welcome to the beautiful country of Bulgaria! Located on the southeastern part of Europe, Bulgaria is now becoming a premiere tourist destination in the continent. Bulgaria is situated along the Balkan Peninsula. It is bordered by Romania to the north, the Black Sea to the east, Serbia and Macedonia to the west, and Greece and Turkey on the south. Travelers visiting this beautiful country are captivated with its picturesque landscapes, pristine beaches, historical buildings and a rich cultural heritage that is uniquely their own.
If this is your first time to travel to the country of Bulgaria, here are just some tips to help you get the most of your trip.
The country of Bulgaria has a temperate climate. This is partly due to the various mountain ranges that could be found all over the country as well as its close proximity to the Black Sea. This being said, travelers heading to the country of Bulgaria should come prepared.
During the winter months, the country can be quite chilly and experiences a substantial amount of rainfall. In the summer months, travelers should be prepared for rain and wind. During the first few months of summer in the country, travelers are sure to experience frequent rains often accompanied by blustering winds.
Not all tourists are required to acquire a visa to visit the country, provided that your stay is no longer than 30 days. To see if you are qualified for this, it is best to contact the embassy of Bulgaria in your country.

Despite the fact that Bulgaria is just starting to make its mark as a prime tourist destination in Europe, travelers visiting the country would not need to worry about where to stay during their trip to this beautiful country. Travelers can choose from a wide variety of accommodations all over the country. From 5-star hotels to private lodgings and hostels, travelers are guaranteed to find one that would meet their budget.
You can use your ATM or debit card in the ATM machines in the major cities of the country which would dispense the amount you need in the local currency. It is important to remember, though, that international ATM cards used are subject to additional fees and a limit in the number of transactions that could be done in a day.
