More about Bulgaria costs
Compared to other Western European countries, food, drink, and transportation prices are quite economical in Bulgaria. Going around the country is relatively affordable, thanks to the abolishment of the dual-pricing system. Backpack travelers can stay in camping sites that charge 10.00 BGN (7.34 USD) per person. For more comfortable but cheaper accommodation, private homes charge about 12.00 BGN (8.81 USD) to 30.00 BGN (22.02 USD). A budget hotel outside Sofia will cost 20.00 BGN (14.68 USD) for a single room and 40.00 BGN (29.35 USD) for a double. Midrange hotels charge between 40.00 BGN (29.35 USD) and 60.00 BGN (44.03 USD). The cheapest meals are at about 3.00 BGN (2.20 USD) while expect a little more than 15.00 BGN (11.01 USD) at slightly more expensive restaurants.
Look out for bargain deals in top end hotels during the weekend. Some hotels in Sofia have discounts during the off-peak season of August. Budget travelers can survive on 50.00 BGN (36.69 USD) daily (per person) by using second class trains and public buses to get around. Midrange accommodations, occasional taxi rides, first class train rides, better restaurant quality, and souvenir shopping will cost about 80.00 BGN (58.71 USD) a day. About twice this cost is expected when touring around Sofia.
