Bargaining isn't a common practice in shops or restaurants, but at local markets or souvenir stalls, you can occasionally try to get a better price.

Coffee and yogurt are highly valued products by Bulgarians, and local hospitality is especially felt in traditional restaurants. In some locations, you might be offered a glass of water or a small complimentary appetizer.

Light clothing made from natural materials is suitable for the summer season. For visits to monasteries or churches, a decent attire is recommended. Hats and sunglasses are useful on hot days, especially at the seaside.

Taxi transport is relatively affordable, but it's advisable to check the fare before you leave or use ride-sharing apps to avoid any potential extra costs.

The use of drones is permitted, but regulated. For heavier drones or for flights in urban areas, tourist destinations, or near important landmarks, special permits may be required.

The costs for phone calls, messages, and internet are advantageous, as Bulgaria is part of the European Union. Roaming is generally included for SIM cards from the EU, at no extra cost.
