How much money to spend on food if I stay for 30 days in Bulgaria?

Question

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to ask some travellers how much money is required to spend entirely on food if staying for 30 days in Bulgaria for a single person (I am going to live in the city of Sofia). Are there any recommendations for relatively cheap restaurants and cafe's in Sofia? Is it true that american dollars are more popular than a national bulgarian currency?

Any help appreciated

Answer 1

In Sofia things are pretty expensive by Bulgarian standards, but even so, 10 euro per day should feed you, and allow for a glass of local wine.

The cuisine can be rather "heavy", and meat rich, but is usually very tasty. They cook pork (svinsko) paticularly well, and serve some variation on yoghurt (which they claim to have invented) with many dishes.

It is always worth asking if the dish you have ordered will be served with a side dish (garnitura), as this will almost invariably be charged seperately, as will bread.

A visit to fascinating and renovated Halite food market will enable you to stretch your budget.

The local currency is fixed rigidly at about 1.95 lev to the euro, and there is no preference for dollars.

Answer 2

No, USA dollars are not prefferred to Bulgarian currency and 100 Euros will be a very modest sum. Prices have gone up, so you'd better allow for 200 Euros. If you don't go to flashy restaurants and resorts, then that should be enough.

Answer 3

Sofia is just a city that motivate you, is really a city that produce you intend to visit just how you might find with hotelbye . One of the many places that Sofia is offering through his tourists is Saint George Rotunda church. Also, The Memorial Church Saint Alexander Nevsky is one of the city's many recognizable symbols. This church was built-in 1912, and was designed by the Russian architect Alexander Pomerantsev. Their bell tower increases to a top of 53 yards, and properties 53 bells, the biggest weighing 10 tons. In Sofia you will find many essential and wonderful church and cathedral and these can give that city a special thing that makes the tourist wish to got here.
