Hey! This year, my friends and I go to Bulgaria in the summer, we want to go to Istanbul for a few days. What is the best way from Nessebar to Istanbul ? I think what is the best, cheapest and fastest, boat, taxi or bus ? Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english ! :D Greetings from Hungary !

Are there any vacations for locals (school children and parents) around Orthodox Easter (May 5th) ? What is the period ? I expected that the beginning of May would be low season but I have found that several hotels were already booked out ! Thanks

How bad are the roads if, for instance we travel by rented cars(Ford Focus, Kia Ceed STW) from the Airport of Bulgaria to Sofia, up to Belogradchik, then to Gabrovo, to Veliko Tarnovo, to the boundary of Rumania in Ruse up to Giurgiu then to Bukarest for a two day trip there then go back down to Bulgaria in Shumen then to Burgas (at the Black Sea) then Kazanluk( Rose Perfume Factory) then back to Sofia. I am accompanied by my Sister who lives in Chicago and my male German friend who speaks perfect(100%) Bulgarian language. This is the Itinerary of our Travel and we paid a part of it already for the month of July to August. It´s a high season so we thought ot booking in advance also with the car. My doubts are the road conditions. Maybe some of you have been to Bulagaria already. Must i be worried? Although it is hard to believe but some sources said kidnapping is a trend esp when you are a traveller, how true is it? It is a pleasure to know the conditions and situations esp. the boundary to Bucarest. Anyway, we book in many good and safe Hotels. Thank you in advance!

What are the internal security authorities doing about attacks like the train to Burgas. I was feeling pretty bum about that because I did a tour guided by a nice guy who lived in Burgas and always told my wife we should go there. Now I'm thinking "drive ourselves there?" I sure hope the government can root out the cells that plan bombings. Most tourists do not wish to gamble on being a target.

could anyone please tell me if there is a bus service from Plovdiv to koprivtshitsa,Thank you.

Hi me and my girls were thinking of going to sunny beach on the 14th august for a week, after reading some reviews on other forums about the area its made think is it a safe place for females especially black females. I was wondering if anyone can give me an insight if this place is welcoming of other cultures because I have been to other places in Europe and locals stare at me which makes me feel uncomfortable. Also is sunny beach a good place for night life because this my first holiday away from the parents and I want to have a good time :) Thanks

I was a long time ago in Bulgaria and visited a place I can't locate anymore. It was on those film camera times, so I don't have a photo. The place was in countryside, we went there by train and it was like a carved face in the wall of a mountain. It was "split" or hit by thunder and of course there were some story behind, love or God as normal (had some jumped from mountain and it was punished with lightning which broke the sculpture). Any help? It was a tourist place, I bought a miniature copy of the wall there.

me and my family have just booked up to go to the dimond hotel on 30th august this year is it true that everything closes for the end of the season and wot is the weather like around that time plz

Hello all, I am travelling through Sofia in October and I was wondering if it is a hassle to book an overnight train ride (in a sleeping wagon) from Sofia to Bucharest in Sofia itself. I'm from Germany and I went to the Deutsche Bahn counter and asked if I could book it from here, but it's not possible. They couldn't even give me a website I could book it from. So I was wondering if I go to a counter in Sofia, will communicating this be a difficulty? I have an interrail ticket, which means I won't have to book the train ride, just the sleeping wagon. Has anyone done this before? Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance. Regards

Hi, we are travelling in Bulgaria via public transport in August. Towards the end of our trip we plan on going to Bansko for two days then travel to Malyovitsa for two days, on our final day in Malyovitsa we plan to leave early morning and walk to the Seven Lakes, then at the end of the day we would like to get to Sophia somehow. Firstly does anybody know of any transport links between Bansko and Malyovitsa, or would this need to be a taxi journey? If so any tips on potential taxi price? Secondly I'm aware a bus leaves Dubnitsa at 17:30 on the day we are at the Seven Lakes however I don't think this gives us as much time as we'd like at the lakes, does anybody know of any other buses/public transport options from the lakes or know approximately how much a taxi from the lakes to Sophia would cost? many thanks!
