How safe is Bulgaria?

Bulgaria is located in the Balkans. Although it is a popular tourist destination for Black Sea beaches and holiday towns, there are many other interesting things to do. From exploring its capital Sofia (one of the oldest cities in Europe) to hiking in the countryside, Bulgarian tourists have a lot to do. Bulgaria is very suitable for backpacking and packing holidays.

In fact, Bulgaria is relatively safe and has a low violent crime rate, which is considered to be no less than any other Balkan country. In other words, like many places in the world, potential tourists in this country may want to know some questions and other concerns. Pickpockets on buses and markets, as well as young pickpockets gangs active in the city center, are not only annoying, but may also ruin the whole holiday "/zd/ym".
