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.
