Useful info

Stara Zagora is a friendly place and we hope that you will be able to enjoy it fully. Here are some tips that should make your stay even more pleasant, fun and hassle-free.

  • EMERGENCY NUMBER

    For all emergencies (police, ambulance, fire brigade) call 112

    (See a list of hospitals below)

  • WATER

    Tap water is safe to drink.

  • ELECTRICITY

    220 volts, 50Hz. European two-pin plugs and schuko plugs are in use.

  • MONEY

    Bulgaria’s currency is lev and, apart from hotels, it is the only currency accepted as payment in restaurants, bars and other venues. ATMs are widely available. If you want to money, it is better to do that in a bank. There are also exchange offices, but you need to make sure their rates are correct and there are no hidden fees.

  • TIPPING

    If you are happy with the service provided, don’t hesitate to add an extra lev. It is common to leave a tip in the 10%-15% range.

  • PARKING

    "Green Zone" – temporary parking spaces

    The Green Zone is enforced between 8:00 am and 6:00 pm during the week and 9:00 am to 2:00 pm on Saturday. Parking on Sunday is free of charge.

    You can pay for on-street parking using parking meters or by sending a SMS (text message) to tel.: 1342 indicating the registration plate of the vehicle written in Cyrillic (for ex. СТ 1234 СА). One text massage equals one hour parking and costs 1 BGN. Before the time is up, you will receive a reminder notification on your cell phone.

    The duration of the parking can be between 30 minutes (with a parking coupon)/1 hour via SMS, and a maximum of three hours.

    The Green Zone regulations are enforced strictly and violations of these regulations attract penalties, which means that any vehicle parked illegally may be towed or its wheels may be blocked. The towing fee is 30 BGN and the blocking fee is 20 BGN. You may call 0800 157 37 in such cases.
