Порада щодо міста
Транспорт
Metro is the fastest way to travel in Sofia.
It's clean, cheap and always on time. Ticket price 1,6 lv. For more info visit https://www.metrosofia.com/en/maps.
Транспорт
Travel always with licensed taxis.
The price of a regular taxi service should come to 5-7 leva at the short distances (5-6 km), about 10 leva for mid-range distances (10-15 km) and 15 – 20 leva for farer destinations (20+). If you are traveling during the night add a few leva on top of these prices as the night time fee is a bit more expensive.
Звичаї та культура
In Bulgaria nodding your head means "no".
The most common way to show agreement and say ‘yes’ in Bulgaria is to shake your head from side to side, a gesture that in many countries means no. And it’s not just Bulgaria! Greece, Iran, Lebanon, Turkey and Egypt all follow the same method.
