Although Bulgaria is an extremely safe destination, if you plan to drive while on holiday or participate in water sports or skiing activities, we strongly advise you take out travel insurance before you begin your holiday. In an event of an accident or injury, having a comprehensive insurance plan will allow you to rest easy and enjoy your trip knowing that you are covered.
