Licensed taxi apps, city-specific transit tools and euro cash backups
Uber and Bolt passenger rides do not currently operate in Bulgaria. In Sofia, use licensed taxi apps such as TaxiMe, Yellow Taxi 91119 or OK Taxi. Yellow is the official airport taxi partner. In Plovdiv, use Eko Taxi Plovdiv or Taxi One App. Bulgaria adopted the euro on 1 January 2026, and it has been the sole legal tender since 1 February. Cards are common in cities, but carry euro cash for smaller businesses, some taxis and less urban areas. Sofia public transport accepts contactless bank cards directly, while ticketing differs elsewhere and Varna and Burgas have separate apps. Drivers should buy an e-vignette only through BGTOLL or an official partner and verify the plate and registration country before payment. Save 112, download offline maps and Bulgarian translation, and confirm mountain weather, road closures and intercity schedules shortly before travel.
