Arriving at Varna Airport
If you have not made arrangements for somebody to meet you ( most of the times we meet our clients and drive them to their hotel), before you get into a taxi, make sure that the “meter” is on and that the driver has quoted to you the cost, otherwise you can be overcharged (most taxi drivers charge non-Bulgarians double).

Moving around:
Most shops, hotels and restaurants, with the exception of some major hotels, still do not accept travellers' checks or credit cards. Bulgaria is still largely a cash economy, so visitors will need a reasonable amount of Bulgarian Leva. It is strongly recommended that foreign currency (either Euro, US Dollars or Pounds) is exchanged only at banks or licensed exchange bureaus, as changing money in the street may result in fraud. In addition ATM cash machines are increasing in numbers in the main towns and resorts, allowing Leva to be drawn with all major debit/credit cards.
While in Varna, you can move around using the “yellow taxis” which will come and collect you and then deliver you where you want to go.

If you are using a British or other European mobile phone, you should call : 052-38-88-88.

Bars and Pubs:
Makalali is an African style house club that welcomes you with nice relaxing atmosphere in the hot summer days. In the dark hours of the night the club turns into a busy cocktail bar with DJ program that heats up the party mood. The best place for pre-party…
The Martini Bar is a result of a dream. A dream of two enthusiasts’ seeking quality and perfection. After not finding such a place, they created the Martini Bar with passion and desire, suggesting the very best of cocktails. They managed to combine novelties from the new world with discriminating flavour of the remote past.
