📣 Traveler notes
Bulgaria is a country in the Balkan region of Europe, located west of the Black Sea and south of the Danube River. Its official name is the Republic of Bulgaria.
- National holidays include March 3 (Liberation Day), May 1 (Labor Day), May 6 (St. George's Day/Day of the Bulgarian Armed Forces), and May 24 (Day of Bulgarian Education and Culture).
- Use the greeting "dobar den" (good day). In transactions, keep conversations brief.
