Good to know for Bulgaria

Signage is Cyrillic in many places. Offline maps and your destination written out in Cyrillic beat any translation app once you lose signal.

The interior has a continental climate: dry hot summers, cold winters, and a far wider day-to-night swing than the coast. Rila Monastery and other Orthodox houses require covered shoulders and knees.

Since 2026 Bulgaria has paid in euros. Cards are fine in the cities, while market stalls and mountain huts take notes only. Outlets here take a European plug unchanged, at 230 volts. Tap water is generally drinkable, and the mountains are full of capped springs for refilling.
