Safety Tips For Bulgaria
It is no surprise that property in Bulgaria is becoming increasingly popular.
If you are moving to a property in Bulgaria, you might be wondering about the specific safety concerns for this particular country. The truth is that Bulgaria is very much a safe country generally.
However, there are a few things to be aware of while you are living at your real estate in Bulgaria. Being knowledgeable about the local safety hazards is always important when moving to a new culture.
Here are some safety tips to keep in mind when you move to your real estate in Bulgaria.
- Driving in Bulgaria can be extremely dangerous, and almost 1300 people die in car accidents each year. The roads are not well kept and full of potholes, and Bulgarians have aggressive driving habits. Be extra vigilant when crossing the street, and do not assume that the driver will stop for you.
- Pick-pocketing is a risk in large, crowded public spaces such as train stations and buses. Keep your valuables close to you.
- Car theft is becoming a common problem in some areas of Bulgaria. If you have an expensive car, do not simply leave it parked in a parking lot or on the street. It will be a very attractive target for thieves. It is worth installing a security system on your vehicle.
- Criminals in Bulgaria have been known to attach skimming devices to ATMs which are used to capture all of the details of your bank cards, credit card numbers, and PIN. They can then use this information to make charges to your account. If you are unsure about using an ATM, it is better to use cash instead.
- The drug laws in Bulgaria are much harsher and the penalties are more severe than anywhere else in Europe.
- The police have been known to be corrupt in Bulgaria, and might request for you to bribe them. If this occurs, you would be wise not to do so and instead to decline and ask for the name and the ID number of the police offer who suggested it. Call and report the corruption.
- Be wary of stands set up to exchange your money on the street. It is a scam, and they will give you fake money.
- If you decide to go for a walk in the woods while staying at your property in Bulgaria, keep in mind that there are wild bears and wolves that have been spotted in the Bulgarian wilderness, so take caution.
- In many different locations throughout Bulgaria, you will encounter stray dogs. They are usually friendly and harmless, but keep on your guard.
- In many of the holiday resorts in Bulgaria, you will have people who will try to sell you trinkets and souvenirs. If you are not interested, give them a firm no to make it clear they are not interested and they will leave you alone.
When you are at your property in Bulgaria, you will have a safe and enjoyable experience most of the time, however it is good to be aware of these possible risky situations so that you can avoid them.
