About Driving in Bulgaria

To use Bulgaria’s motorways and most main roads you need an electronic vignette, bought online at bgtoll.bg or at petrol stations; hire cars usually have one, but check. Mountain roads to Rila, Pirin and the Rhodopes are slow, so allow extra time, and fit winter tyres in the cold months.

Why it's on our list

  • E-vignette for motorways and main roads
  • Headlights on in winter
  • Mountain roads take time

Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Driving in Bulgaria before you go.
