Rating: 5 stars
Summary: informative and intersesting
Review: I visited Bulgaria in 7/99 and travelled around for almost 3 weaks with a rented car. Before going there i have read everything I could find (books and internet) - this was the only book that gave good information, intersting details, and enlightments about Bulgaria. One must remember that a developing country such as Bulgaria rates change, places are being closed' and new open every days. However as for the hotels and restorants most of the details were pretty acurate as for the 'what to see' i have never met a better guide. I do recommand this guide to anyone who travels to Bulgaria, if he wants to know what to do there and to understand the country

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a very good in depth book on bulgaria
Review: The best book i've found on visiting Bulgaria. I visited Bulgaria in Sept 96 and the book is incredibly thorough on all the small towns of Bulgaria. I'm going back,and this book will be in my backpack!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: rather a disappointment
Review: This book seems hastily written without much research. We found much of the information in the book to be unclear, misleading, or just blatantly wrong. One of the most aggravating problems was the map of Varna, for which the side street grid does not conform at all to reality. Already the book is out of date as many museums and restaurants have closed, moved, changed hours, or downsized. There is no information in the book about tipping, and the information about hotel and restaurant costs is severely limited. Unfortunately, there are not many other guidebooks that include detailed information on bulgaria, and those are regional guidebooks and not country specific.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: By far the best guide on Bulgaria
Review: This is a great guide covering everything from the best places to eat and the best hostels to stay for cheap backpackers to cultural history. Everything is arranged in easy to find geographic regions. Especially enjoyable is the small sections scattered thoughout on major historical figures. The glossary of Bulgarian terms is a little short but who would really understand you with your thick accent anyway

The guide is good but don't expect everything to be exactly as it is in the guide. Bulgaria is a place of rapid change and many places close and open rapidly. Travelers beware many palces outside of Sofia close between 2 and 4.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent work
Review: Wide coverage; history, transportation, culture, food, language(s), attractions. Covers a lot of the country and many towns and villages in each region. This is one of the most interesting and useful travel books I have encountered.
