Frequently asked questions about hostels in Bulgaria

What are the most affordable attractions for backpackers to visit?
For budget-conscious travellers, Bulgaria offers plenty. Hiking in the Rila or Pirin mountains is free, offering stunning scenery. Exploring the charming, historic towns like Veliko Tarnovo or Plovdiv, wandering their cobbled streets and admiring the architecture, costs little more than the price of a coffee. Many monasteries, such as the Rila Monastery, have modest entrance fees. Free walking tours are often available in larger cities, providing a great introduction to the local culture and history. Local markets offer inexpensive and delicious food, a far cry from tourist-priced restaurants.

Which airports handle most of the traffic to and from Bulgaria?

What are the best hostels with a pool in Bulgaria?

How easy is it to navigate the roads in Bulgaria?
Navigating the roads in Bulgaria can be challenging in some areas. Major highways are generally well-maintained, but smaller roads, especially in mountainous regions, can be winding and poorly surfaced. A reliable GPS device or navigation app is highly recommended, and driving in the winter months can be particularly difficult due to snow and ice.
What are the best hostels for families and kids in Bulgaria?
The best hostels for families and kids in Bulgaria are 5 Vintage Guest House, Rooster Hostel and Best Private Rooms In The Center.
How can travellers best respect local customs while in Bulgaria?
Bulgarians appreciate politeness and respect. It's considered polite to greet people with a handshake, and to make eye contact when speaking. When visiting homes or monasteries, dressing modestly is appreciated. Learning a few basic Bulgarian phrases, like 'Zdraveite' (hello) and 'Merci' (thank you), will be well-received. Tipping is generally not expected, but rounding up the bill in restaurants is a common courtesy.
What are the best pet friendly hostels in Bulgaria?
The best pet friendly hostels in Bulgaria are 5 Vintage Guest House, Hostel Mostel and Nomado Hostel.
Which traditional festivals define the spirit of Bulgaria?
Surva, a Kukeri festival in Pernik, is a spectacular display of traditional masked dancers and rituals, typically held in January.

Numerous local festivals celebrate various saints' days throughout the year, offering a glimpse into deeply held religious and cultural traditions.
What are the best hostels with parking in Bulgaria?

What are the key emergency contacts for medical or safety concerns?
For medical emergencies, dial 112. For police, dial 112. This single number connects to all emergency services.
What are the best areas to spend a week in Bulgaria?
A week allows for exploring different regions. You could spend a few days in Sofia, exploring its historical sites and vibrant cultural scene, then head to the Rila Mountains for some hiking and fresh air. Following this, explore the Black Sea coast, perhaps spending time in Nessebar or Sozopol, enjoying the beaches and charming old towns. This itinerary balances city life with nature and coastal relaxation.
What are the best areas to spend a weekend in Bulgaria?
For a shorter trip, focus on one area. Sofia is a good choice for a city break, offering museums, historical landmarks like the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, and a lively nightlife. Alternatively, a weekend in Plovdiv provides a different perspective, with its well-preserved Roman ruins and charming Old Town. Both cities are easily accessible from Sofia Airport.
Are there specific regions known for great weather?
The Black Sea coast enjoys warm summers, ideal for beach holidays. The southern regions, particularly around Plovdiv, tend to be warmer and drier than the northern areas, especially during the summer months. However, Bulgaria experiences varied weather patterns, so checking the forecast before travelling is always advisable.
