Overall, I felt safe but I knew I had to be vety cautious walking around. The people were nice however if you dont know Bulgarian or Russian they tend to be very rude. My bag got stolen with everything in it, there are professional thiefs there. Everything was cheap compared to anywhere in Europe, the food amazing, the alcohol somewhat good, the pubs and bars were amazing tho. There is public transportation and the beaches were very nice.

I would say its pretty safe, especially public transport. Night life is safe too, at least in my experience and what I've heard. The only thing that I'm worried about is locals reaction to gay or alt looking people. There were multiple accidents when teenage boys have beaten somebody just because of their looks (but the targets are usually teenagers too).
