There is a bank automat beside the entrance. The banks normally have better exchanging rates than the exchange offices. We strongly recommend you not to exchange money with the so-called “exchangers on black”.

Renting a car

It is rather expensive to rent a car in Bulgaria and if you cannot read the Cyrillic alphabet it might be difficult to understand the signs along the way.

If you do not want to drive by yourself but still wants to see more of Bulgaria we recommend you to use a taxi service (agree on a price in advance).

Tips

There is no regular system regarding the tips in Bulgaria. If you are satisfied with the service you could round the sum up or you can give approx. 10 % of the bill in tips.

Only a few restaurants and shops accept credit cards. Instead we recommend you to withdraw the wished amount from the bank automat.

There are two kinds of coin-box telephones; Mobika (blue) and Bulfon (orange). Calling cards can be bought almost every where, and the price is 4-20 leva. Press 0045 + the subscriber’ number. The GSM-system is very well organised in Bulgaria and it is reliably working.

It takes more time to ride in the municipal bus because it has several more stopping places stops on its route than the minibuses.
