How to recognise Bulgaria from the road
Drives on the right
Mountains, sunflower fields and Cyrillic signs inside the European Union. That combination narrows things down quickly.
What to look for
1
Cyrillic in the EU
Signs use the Cyrillic alphabet, often with a Latin version underneath, and plates carry the blue EU band.
2
Apartment blocks
Towns have many large concrete apartment blocks from the communist era.
3
Mountains and fields
Mountain ranges run across the country, with wide fields of sunflowers and wheat between them.
