📣 Traveler notes

The Republic of Bulgaria is a Balkan country located in Europe, situated west of the Black Sea and south of the Danube River.

The country observes several national holidays besides Christmas, New Year's Day, and Easter.
Key national holidays include March 3 (Liberation Day), May 1 (International Workers' Day/Labor Day), and May 6 (Day of the Bulgarian Armed Forces).
Use local greetings such as "dobar den" or "kak ste." When communicating, be mindful of sensitive topics like Macedonia or Turkey, particularly when interacting with nationalists. Be aware that the signs of nodding and shaking the head are reversed compared to many Western countries (Nod = No; Shake = Yes).
