What cultural faux pas should I try to avoid making in Varna?

Answer this Question

We asked people in Varna if they could share any humorous cultural blunders they commited. For new expats, keep in mind that these incidents are an inevitable part of expat life. Learning to laugh about them is the key!...

"I wore my first Martinitsa well in June, when a kind friend told me it was time to put it away," said another expat in Varna, Bulgaria.

"It is important to be mindful of local customs and traditions when visiting Varna. It is considered rude to be late for appointments or social engagements, so it is important to be punctual. It is also important to dress modestly and to avoid public displays of affection. It is also important to be respectful of religious sites and to avoid taking photographs without permission. Additionally, it is important to be aware of the local language and to avoid speaking loudly in public. Finally, it is important to be aware of the local customs regarding tipping and to be respectful of the local culture," wrote a member who made the move to Varna, Bulgaria.
