Embassy addresses in Bulgaria
Most visits to Bulgaria are trouble-free but you should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate international terrorist attacks, which could be against civillian targets, including placed frequented by foreigners.

Organised criminal groups are active in casinos, nightclubs, prostitution and elsewhere. Serious crime is rare and people unconnected with these groups have not been specifically targeted.

You should be aware that, on occasion, tourists have been the subject of overcharging in some late night bars and clubs.

There are reports of several incidents of British nationals being robbed in the tourist resort of Sunny Beach, where in some cases intimidation and force has been used.

There have also been incidents in the residential areas of Sofia, Pleven and Topolovgrad in which properties belonging to British nationals were broken into.
