Metro: shop a holic
  • Tip Rating:
  • A huge supermarket, sister company to our Makro, here you can buy everything under one roof. We purchased a king sized quilt, duvet cover set, sheets, pillows, 5 pairs of mens socks, 2 beakers, instant coffee, bread, toilet rolls, butter, milk, cream cheese and the bill came to approx £30.00 WOW, is that cheap or what??

    Clothes shops: Designer Dreams
  • Tip Rating:
  • Most shops in Varna and along the Black Sea coasts have fantastics fashion .

    Designer labels are everywhere and at a fraction of the price you would be expected to pay in the UK. Good quality and great fashion, a word of warning, I was told that sizing is a little different there. A size 8 is small, 10 is medium and 12 is large !!! As you can imagine the young girls are like models !!! I am a 10/12 and I felt huge at times.

    Less than in the UK

    stores salespeople brandnames food: shopping here is interesting!
  • Tip Rating:
  • thus far i;ve come to the conclusion that if the shop is fancy or in a big city, the salespeople are rude...or at least this is the reaction i get...may be i don't look the "shopacholic" type. But then, i've never had troubles in smaller stores- groceries or clothings

    one thing to keep in mind is that in bulgaria u cannot return stuff u don't like..or it might very very very hard...so think before buy

    and if it's says "Prada" or something else..it's definitely not (unless the price is within prada price range)

    but if u buy groceries u won't make a mistake...everything is so scrumptious!

    don't buy at the first price you see
  • Tip Rating:
  • any stalls or shops in the resorts in bulgaria tend to sell things for much dearer than in the main towns like varna, so when you go plan a trip to your nearest town at the start so you can see what the prices there are like compared to your resort, then plan another trip back near the end of your holiday to buy all your souviners and prezzies

    Bulgarian currency - lev
  • Tip Rating:
  • On the picture - 20 levs. 100 stotinki = 1 lev. 2 BGL = 1 USD
    To have an idea about the prices - with 20 levs you can purchase approximately 6 kids menus in McDonalds or 3 movie tickets for a movie premiere.

    Some typical prices:
    - cup of coffee (espresso) 0.30 -1.50 leva,
    depending on location
    - cigarettes BG - 1.20 leva
    - local beer 1.00 leva
    - Big Mac 2.69 leva
    - Burger BG 1.50 leva
    - loaf of bread 0.60 leva
    - litre of unleaded fuel 1.50 leva

    Markets
  • Tip Rating:
  • everywhere in the region Northeast

    Food

    Markets are the best and low-budget, every time fresh vegetables for.... nearly nothing. To get other (good) food partially is difficult by shops.
    But, they have some really good restaurants and so low priced that you could eat every day "outside". So take also the best hotels and restaurants there!

    very low priced

    Souvenirs (2)
  • Tip Rating:
  • Another thing that is worth to buy as a souvenir is one -or more – bottles of the famous Melnik wine. Note: you are only allowed to take 2 liters of wine out of the country duty-free. You can buy melnik wine everywhere around the country in supermarkets. Yet, its more interesting to buy them in Melnik self. This village is famous for its quality wine, which has been produced traditionally since the 15 th. Century. Several winegrowers offer wine tasting in order to sell their wine, and in this way you can have the opportunity to decide what bottle(s) you want to buy. The winebars are cut into the rocks along the cobblestone paths in the village and you can go there alone or by organisated tour, so that you get some explanation about the winegrowing-process and history. But if you go the alone you of course get all the info’s too that the owner tells the organisized group. Melnik offers different types of whines and a bottle of red or white wine cost about 5 lv. Next to wine two othet delicacies are the Bulgarian plum brandy and the feat. The first is a local brandy from Central Bulgaria, made with rich plums and is really a must-try. The latter is a delicate cheese and is perfect on schnizel. Its also often used inside pastries.
