📣 Traveler notes
Bulgaria is a country in the Balkan region of Europe, located west of the Black Sea and south of the Danube River.
- Major holidays recognized by the Bulgarian state include Christmas, New Year's Day, Easter, Liberation Day (March 3rd), International Workers' Day (May 1st), St. George's Day (May 6th), and Day of Bulgarian Education and Culture (May 24th).
- Bulgarians are generally friendly to foreigners. Initiate conversations in smaller towns, but avoid assuming casual chat at shops' tills. Be aware that the meaning of nodding and shaking the head is reversed from many Western countries (nodding means 'No,' and shaking means 'Yes'). Furthermore, avoid referring to the Bulgarian alphabet as the 'Russian alphabet,' as Bulgaria was the first language to adopt the Cyrillic script.
