Buying mountain equipment in Bulgaria

by DTDR

Most sport shops in Bulgaria are rather cheap. Please pay attention that there may be no sport shops in some regions at all. A good example is Rodopi. There're several small shops only and although prices are not high the choice is very limited. If the region is known as sport center like Bansko there you'll find dozens of shops with good choice and very reasonable prices. Best of all is to buy off-season equipment and sport clothes. For example, in summer you can find excellent winter and ski jackets for about 1/3 of the usual US price. But I'd not recommend relying on that too much. If you do need something for your sport activity in Bulgaria you'd better bring it. The shopping is not bad there but the specific model or size may be missing.And in contrary. If you consider buying something for your further activity but you are not in hurry, just look for that in Bulgaria and probably...

Denim Store: Cheap 'designer' goods

by NoFuture

Unlike many touristy 'designer' shops this store was not filled with ugly, tacky clothing but stylish and unique designs. 'Designer' clothing for men and women; jeans, t shirts etc as well as accessories and French brands From their sale section jeans were £10, t shirt was £3. Most clothes were more expensive but still cheaper than UK in general.

stalls and shops: leather goods,t'shirts,jeans.

by bankowskiboy

there are literally thousands of shops selling souveniers,gifts,leather goods,jewellry.and at very good prices,handbags for the ladies,belts,wallets,sweaters and t'shirts.don't be afraid to barter. my wife bought a nice fake d&g handbag,but for the equivilent of £10 it is a bargain.also we bought a diesel hoody for my youngest son,which is very good quality for about £10,enjoy your shopping. you can pick up a decent leather belt for around two pounds,a decent fake designer handbag about £10.

stores salespeople brandnames food: shopping here is interesting!

by zlatiq

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 clothingsone 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 buyand 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!

Markets

by elgin99

everywhere in the region Northeast FoodMarkets 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

Clothes shops: Designer Dreams

by ettenaj

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

Metro: shop a holic

by ettenaj

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??

Souvenirs (2)

by ger4444

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...

Souvenirs (1)

by ger4444

What kinds of souvenirs to buy in Bulgaria and where? First of all, lots of things you can buy all over the country in Bulgaria, such as handicrafts, are cheaper when you buy them at the actual place area they are being made. So, a nice traditional made table cover f.e. must be bought in the village in question; if you buy it at the over-touristed Black-sea resort you will probably pay the double price! Typical things from Bulgaria are embroideries, paintings of traditional rural life, carpets, ceramics, weavings and woodcarvings. There should be somewhere in Bulgaria – I forgot the name of the place – a national fair, where you can buy all these things and have a wide choice of all kinds of types that are produces throughout the whole country. In the villages of Bulgaria, that are impotant touristic attractions, such as Etar, you can buy the wares produced by the local artisans, such...
