It was a very chill solo trip. I stayed in an Airbnb which I could reallly recommend (https://www.airbnb.com.tr/rooms/1675482325278689016?unique_share_id=e82585c8-18d9-48fb-8771-233324fe8af3&viralityEntryPoint=1&s=76) the location was very central and safe. In the night city didn’t feel fully safe specially in the parks but nothing happened and I felt safe in the central parts. I really suggest anyone to attend the free tour Sofia its really great. If you want to eat on budget try hesburger or...

Hi, I was in Varna for three days. There are a lot of tourists, and I would recommend having a translation app on your phone because many people don’t speak English. Also, some locals can come across as a bit rude. The beaches and the food are great, and the prices are affordable. Unfortunately, I felt a bit unsafe when I was outside the tourist areas, and I was catcalled. I would recommend city breaks in Bulgaria. I’ll definitely revisit and also plan to visit Sunny Beach, Plovdiv, Burgas,...
Posted: June 1, 2026Bulgaria is one of my favorite places to be! I loved how cosy the people felt and how warm the food was. I went in winter. It has many Orthodox churches and a Sunday street mall that I really liked. Apart from that, I unfortunately didn't have the opportunity to really see the night life.

I didn't like the place from my experience it wasn't the friendly place to travel as a child, alot of strange people wondering around and the food was awful 😣 alot of animal abuse I witnessed aswell.

Sofia is quite safe, I always feel fine walking at night alone as a woman. Of course there are certain areas that could feel a bit shady like close to Lion's bridge but overall very safe even when alone.

Its very chill unless you’re going to shady places late at night. Its still always nice to have pepper spray wherever you are just in case. However i have walked to my apartment for like and hour after 1 am at night and it was chill
Posted: February 28, 2026Sofia is a relatively safe city, the center and nearby neighborhoods are calm. It is more dangerous at night, as well as in some of the outer neighborhoods of the city. Around the central station is a bit of a dangerous area.

Overall, I'd say Sofia is a safe city. The areas I picked as unsafe are mainly around the railway station, but they are also with more police officers which is a good thing most of the time. Don't get me wrong, I walk alone there during the day without worrying, but would not do it during the night just as a precaution.
