Information traffic Sofia (София)

Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, is a city with many tourist attractions. However, there are a number of things to bear in mind to ensure the safety and enjoyment of your stay. First of all, it should be noted that Bulgaria is located in an earthquake zone, although earthquakes are generally of low intensity. It is therefore advisable to take the necessary precautions in the event of an earthquake. As far as transport is concerned, the road network in Bulgaria is often in poor condition, with the exception of freeways. It is therefore advisable to drive carefully and to watch out for the many potholes on the roads, even in the center of Sofia. We also strongly advise against driving two-wheeled vehicles. In terms of security, although crime rates are generally low, it is advisable not to walk at night outside the city center, to avoid the Sofia railway station area and to be vigilant when withdrawing money from ATMs. Finally, it is advisable to carry photocopies of identity documents and keep them in a safe place, as well as to carry out foreign exchange transactions in authorized establishments.
