Dear visitors,

Welcome to Bulgaria. Enjoy yourselves, but please note the following rules so that Bulgarian people don’t misunderstand you.

The most important thing you should know is that nodding your head means ‘no’ and shaking your head means ‘yes’.

The Bulgarian president is Rosen Plevneliev, but you should know that the population don’t like him.

If you travel the country, you should go to Shipka Mountain, a nice place with a beautiful landscape. But you have to be very careful because in the mountains of Bulgaria there are a few venomous snakes and other dangerous animals.
