Welcome to the beautiful country of Bulgaria! Located on the southeastern part of Europe, Bulgaria is now becoming a premiere tourist destination in the continent. Bulgaria is situated along the Balkan Peninsula. It is bordered by Romania to the north, the Black Sea to the east, Serbia and Macedonia to the west, and Greece and Turkey on the south. Travelers visiting this beautiful country are captivated with its picturesque landscapes, pristine beaches, historical buildings and a rich cultural heritage that is uniquely their own.

If this is your first time to travel to the country of Bulgaria, here are just some tips to help you get the most of your trip.

Bulgaria has a temperate climate, meaning that its locals experience cold winters and warm summers. Its close proximity to the Black Sea and the many mountain ranges that could be found all over the country has made the country of Bulgaria a rather windy country, particularly during the winter months and during the first part of summer. Heavy rainfalls are also frequent during the first few months of summer in the country, so make sure that you pack in your windbreakers and umbrellas with you.

All travelers to Bulgaria are required to present a valid passport with its expiration date at least six months from the time that you leave Bulgaria and return to your home country. If your passport is going to expire within the same year that you would be making a trip to Bulgaria, it is a good idea to get your passport renewed first before making your travel arrangements to avoid any potential problems the moment you get there to Bulgaria.

As with any trip abroad, travelers are required to present a valid passport upon their arrival to Bulgaria. The immigration in this country can be a little bit strict. They require all passports to be valid for at least six months from the time that you arrive to Bulgaria. It would be a good idea to have your passport first renewed before you head out to Bulgaria if the expiration date on your passport is within the same year of your travel, just to be on the safe side.

Despite the fact that Bulgaria is just starting to make its mark as a prime tourist destination in Europe, travelers visiting the country would not need to worry about where to stay during their trip to this beautiful country. Travelers can choose from a wide variety of accommodations all over the country. From 5-star hotels to private lodgings and hostels, travelers are guaranteed to find one that would meet their budget.

You can use your ATM or debit card in the ATM machines in the major cities of the country which would dispense the amount you need in the local currency. It is important to remember, though, that international ATM cards used are subject to additional fees and a limit in the number of transactions that could be done in a day.
