Shopping in Bulgaria
Bulgaria is the perfect place if you are looking for cheap and quality shopping. Wine, Manual works, table naps, rose products and specially shoes and clothes. Designer labels are everywhere and at much lower prices than you would be expected to pay in the rest of Europe.
Everything is so cheap in Bulgaria! You can find everything there and though most of it is copy of real brands the quality is rather good.
Most shops in Sofia, Varna and along the Black Sea coasts have lovely fashion. Stalls or shops in the resorts in Bulgaria tend to sell things for much dearer than in the main towns like Sofia or Varna.
Note: clothes sizing in Bulgaria is a little different. A size 8 is small, 10 is medium and 12 is large! As you can imagine the young Bulgarian girls are like models!
