📣 Traveler notes

Bulgaria is located in the Balkan region of Europe, situated west of the Black Sea and south of the Danube River.

Additional national holidays include March 3rd, May 1st, May 6th, and May 24th.
New Year's Day and Easter are also national holidays.
The country is generally conservative, requiring travelers to exercise discretion.
Be mindful and cautious when discussing sensitive political topics, such as Macedonia or Turkey.
Bulgarians are generally welcoming. Learning basic greetings (e.g., 'dobar den' or 'kak ste') is appreciated. Maintain brief interactions in shops, and note local communication gestures: nodding often means 'No,' and shaking the head often means 'Yes.'
