what to wear

by simonbuckle3

empty suitcase clothes can be bought at resort very cheaply so you only need the bare necessaties most are available evreyday stuff easy to get weather unpredictable so something dry and warm may be useful in general almost everything is accessable so you don't need to pack much if you allow some spare cash to buy when you are there

Adapters

by hekate

Many former 220V countries have converted or are in the process of converting to the EU standard of 230V. So did Bulgaria.Generally, this difference is inconsequential, as most appliances are built to tolerate current a certain percentage above or below the rated voltage. The plugs have two round pins as shouwn on the picture. The shape of the plug could be circular of rectangular.If this is not what you have you'd better bring an adaptor with you or otherwise you will have to buy one on spot.

Standard Bulgarian plug :)

Don't forget to bring a swimming suite, and some sun protection. You don't need that big budget if you visit Bulgaria as you will find the prices very cheap compared to many other famous European holiday destinations. Me myself did only use about 60% of my planned budget!

Sunny Beach
Where the sun is shining

by Linse

Though the sun allmost always shines in Bulgaria it can be raining from time to time but it never lasts for a whole day. Keep this in mind when u pack and remember something warm and maybe even and umbrella.

Point it

by ettenaj

This little book is a must in a place like Bulgaria, to use it do what the title says, Point it. Hundreds of pictures in a small pocket sized book, ranging from tooth brush to cable cars. Excellent tourists aid.

Bulgaria has many undeveloped or poor maintain roads in some of the many towns. I recommend you bring a good pair of boots for the hike or walk in the hills. Sneakers are best for that walk around town. Take alot of film. Film is moderatly priced in Bulgaria. Some places sell film in packs of 4 or 5 which are more economical Always carry with you emergency numbers just in case. If you can use your celphone in Europe make sure you find out & do so before you leave to Bulgaria. Remember to get a voltage converter for your celphone. They use a different voltage & plug system than in the west.

Bottled Water

by keeper7

If you travel through Bulgaria at any time never forget your bottled water. Water in Bulgaria is of good & clean quality. Big bottles are best to buy. They are for about 1 leva (approx: .65 cents USD)

Packing for Bulgaria (2)

You don’t have to pack everything! Everything you think you will need, and is something you think you only can buy in advance for your trip, that is, in your own country, is largely also available in Bulgaria for a relatively cheap price. The weather in summer is good, about some 30 degrees in towns, so that you don’t have to pack warm clothes. But as it occasionally suddenly starts to rain in summer for a few hours a foldable raincoat can be helpful to have. In the mountains of course in summer the temperature gets down at night so you better have some warm clothes then. A sleeping bag is only necessary if you are camping. Mountain huts (not worth to mention hotels, private rooms and (youth)-hostels) have always blankets and sheets. Mountainhuts however don’t have towels for you. Other things that are good to pack are of course an inflatable canoe, for paddling round on the lakes in...

Packing for Bulgaria (1)

Of course you know what you have to pack for a country such as Bulgaria. You wont have to take more effort than for a trip to any other Western country. Yet found it very helpful that I had a flashlight packed; especially at some rural places where there was after midnight no light available along the roads that lead to my hostal. Another thing: I learned some Bulgarian before I went to Bulgaria, because I like languages; but if you don’t want to do that you better buy a language guide; because you will need it! But try to learn some basics by head for nothing looks as stupid as a tourist asking for directions while looking in his language-guide! Another thing to notice: many toilets in Bulgaria don’t have toiletpaper. Its not that you have to overpack your bag with toiletpaper before you go to Bulgaria, but it could be helpful to have a role of toilet paper (otherwise you have to buy a...

As I wasn't sure if I would like the Bulgarian cuisine, I brought sachets of soup and hot chocolate with me just in case. This turned out to a good idea as the food at our hotel was awful. My diet for the week consisted of bread, pizza, hot chocolate, soup and vodka! I'm not sure how good or bad the food is elsewhere in Bulgaria - we were on a budget student trip.
