Visiting
The Romantic Places Of Bulgaria by Graham McKenzie
Looking
for a great place to spend your summer vacation? Head out to the country
of Bulgaria. While this may not be one of the usual countries travelers
visit in Europe, it is definitely one that you should discover and explore.
Located on the southeastern
side of Europe, the country of Bulgaria opens to the Black Sea which borders
the country on the east. It is now slowly gaining popularity among Europeans
and travelers from other parts of the world as one of the best countries
to visit in the continent.
If this is your first time
to travel to this country, here are just some tips to help you get the
most of your trip.
As with any country in Europe,
all travelers are required to have a valid passport before taking a trip
to Bulgaria. Make sure that the validity of your passport extends six months
after your arrival to this country. It would be a good idea to have your
passport first renewed before you travel, if your passport is to expire
within the same year.
If you are visiting the country
as a tourist, immigration would allow tourists from some countries to visit
the country without having to acquire a visa for as long as the stay is
no longer than 30 days. To make sure if you are eligible for this, you
can contact the embassy or consulate of Bulgaria in your country for more
details.
All travelers to this country
are required to present a valid passport with its expiration date at least
six months from the time that you leave Bulgaria and return to your home
country. If your passport is going to expire within the same year, it is
a good idea to get your passport renewed first before making your travel
arrangements to avoid any potential problems the moment you get there to
Bulgaria.
Not
all tourists are required to acquire a visa to visit the country, provided
that your stay is no longer than 30 days. To see if you are qualified for
this, it is best to contact the embassy of Bulgaria in your country.
It is important to make sure
that before you travel to this country, you bring along a copy of your
itinerary which not only show how long you would be staying in the country
but also your accommodations in Bulgaria as well. Immigration officers
would require you to submit this to the local police as soon as you arrive
in your country to prevent any possibility of overstaying in the country.
Another top tourist destination
is the ancient city of Nesebar. This beautiful seaside port is not just
home to buildings and infrastructures dating back to the Middle Ages. It
is also a favorite by tourists and locals for its pristine beaches which
open up to the Black Sea.
You can use your ATM or debit
card in the ATM machines in the major cities of the country which would
dispense the amount you need in the local currency. It is important to
remember, though, that international ATM cards used are subject to additional
fees and a limit in the number of transactions that could be done in a
day.
