Respect & manners
- Careful: in Bulgaria, a nod can mean "no" and shaking the head can mean "yes". Say it with words!
- Cover shoulders and knees in churches and monasteries.
- Tipping: about 10% in restaurants.
- A digital road vignette is required to drive on national roads.
- Bulgaria uses the Cyrillic alphabet: a few letters help with signs.
