Bulgaria - Security

Overall Crime and Safety for Bulgaria

Bulgaria is a relatively safe country for most travel and tourism. Petty crime may be a problem and foreigners are often targeted. Be aware of pickpockets in city centres and tourist resorts especially in crowded areas like buses, trains and busy streets. There has been an increase in burglaries from hotel rooms in Sunny Beach. Keep valuables in a safe. For travel advisories see the following websites: Check the EU Current Temporarily Reintroduced Border Controls for the latest border measures. Black Sea Coast: (April 2022) There are confirmed reports of an undetermined number of drifting mines in the western Black Sea, at least four of which Turkish and Romanian authorities have intercepted. Drifting mines pose a hazard to commercial and passenger vessels. Last updated:  November 2025
