Uber is banned in Bulgaria. Use Bolt or TaxiMe instead. Cash is still king outside major cities, so carry Bulgarian Lev. Sofia's public transport accepts contactless bank cards directly since 2023.

Essential
Widely recommended for spending in Bulgarian Lev with no hidden fees. Works with Apple Pay and Google Pay.
Pro tip: Bulgaria uses Lev (BGN), not euros. Revolut gives you the real exchange rate.
