• The country is generally conservative; LGBTQ+ travelers should exercise discretion.
• Sensitive historical topics (e.g., Macedonia, Turkey, or Russian ethnicity) should be approached with caution, especially when speaking to nationalists.
• Bulgarians take pride in their historical role in adopting the Cyrillic alphabet.
• Major national holidays include March 3rd (Liberation Day), May 1st, May 6th, and May 24th.
• New Year's Day, Easter, and Christmas are also observed national holidays.
• A greeting of 'dobar den' (good day) is appreciated when passing a stall or person. In shops, avoid initiating prolonged small talk, as this may be misunderstood. Note the local communication customs: nodding generally means 'No,' and shaking the head means 'Yes.'
