Bulgaria

Bulgaria offers travelers a unique mix of history, culture, and scenic diversity. The ancient cities of Nessebar and Plovdiv are dotted with well-preserved Roman amphitheaters and medieval churches, showcasing the country’s layered history. Beyond its cities, Bulgaria’s countryside is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, with the rugged peaks of the Rila and Pirin mountains drawing hikers and skiers alike. The Black Sea coastline, lined with sandy beaches and charming seaside towns, is perfect for relaxation and exploration. Whether you’re enjoying traditional Bulgarian cuisine, like banitsa or kebapche, or delving into the country's vibrant traditions and folklore, Bulgaria provides an unforgettable travel experience.

Common Medications

Travelers visiting Bulgaria should consider carrying medications for common travel concerns. Antidiarrheals, such as loperamide, and antibiotics, like Azithromycin, are helpful for managing traveler’s diarrhea, which can occasionally occur. Motion sickness tablets may be useful for winding mountain roads or boat trips along the coast. It’s also a good idea to pack over-the-counter pain relievers, antihistamines for allergies, and basic first-aid supplies for minor injuries. Runway Health provides easy access to travel medications through online consultations, ensuring you’re fully prepared for your Bulgarian adventure.

Immunizations & Vaccinations

Before traveling to Bulgaria, ensure your routine vaccinations are up to date, including measles-mumps-rubella (MMR), tetanus-diphtheria-pertussis (Tdap), and influenza. Hepatitis A vaccination is strongly recommended, as it can be transmitted through contaminated food or water, particularly in rural areas. For certain travelers, Hepatitis B or rabies vaccines may also be advised, especially for extended stays or activities involving animals. Although there’s no risk of malaria in Bulgaria, it’s wise to protect yourself from mosquito-borne illnesses such as West Nile Virus by using insect repellents and wearing protective clothing when outdoors.
