Schengen countries include Denmark, Finland, Belgium, Austria, Estonia, France, Czech Republic, Sweden, Spain, Slovakia, Luxembourg, Latvia, Iceland, Hungary, Liechtenstein, Sweden, Switzerland, and others.

If you have a passport, it is crucial to validate the expiration date. Tourists with expired passports will be denied entry into the country.

Exchange Currency Before Traveling

Experts claim the safest way to exchange currency is with a credit card. Utilizing a credit card to exchange currency will eliminate the need to pay a foreign transaction fee. Skipping these fees will save you about 7 percent, compared to going through a Credit Union or other financial institution.

It is important to note, Bulgaria’s currency is not the euro, but instead, the lev.

Know the weather
