Which is better romania and bulgaria

Bulgaria is far from perfect. For example, they are way behind Turkey and way behind the Greece in terms of what they offer, but still well above Romania. When I went to Bulgaria, I was very afraid. I heard a ton of scary stories — especially on how badly they treat Romanians, but instead I received high quality service and smiles from most of the staff.

At the main restaurant, there was always somebody to greet us in Romanian and wish us good appetite. They did the same with all the other guests, all in their native language.

That would never happen in Romania. And I am sure very few people foreigners can say it has happened to them. Contrary to our expectations, we felt much better in Bulgaria than we did in Romania. Even more — and sadder, in my opinion — we felt more welcome. So the winner in this case is obvious. Bulgaria is, at the moment, the better choice. At least when it comes to spending your summer vacation. I knew you were going to pick Bulgaria.

As well you should from what you have said about the treatment. There are different types of people who are looking for different things. Whit all these things bulgaria beats romania.

Romanian beaches are flat, bulgaria both , the north and , the south has a variety of beaches, starting with beaches with wooded areas to beautiful rocky beaches with amazing views, beautiful long beaches and beautiful sheltered beaches especially below Bourgas. When you Adding the good hotels and service Romanian is very far away from Bulgaria!!! The best answer to your question is given by the Romanians themselves. Every year thousands are in Bulgaria. We do not see Bulgarians being in Romania on the beach.

You said it yourself. On both sides, the Romanians are almost equal in number! Romanian never can be better then Bulgaria just becuse natural resources of the Romanian coast are weak compare whit Bulgarian, even Romanian servez or hotel being more good then bulgarians it is not enough!

One of the beautiful pools, with Hotel Kaliakra in the background. Fruits were always present for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Although the presentation gets no points for style, the food was actually tasty and varied — this being just a very small offering at dinner time.

One of my dinners during the stay at Hotel Kaliakra. They had seafood themed dinners twice during the 7 nights we spent there. Part of the main pedestrian street in the resort.

Why compare Bulgaria and Romania? I really do not understand this obsession with comparing the two countries. Why not compare Bulgaria and Greece or Romania and Serbia? Also, I find your comparison on Romanian and Bulgarian souvenirs are bit odd too. I know it is a matter of personal preference, which I fully respect. I have many wonderful Romanian souvenirs. However Bulgaria also offers woodwork, traditional blouses, ceramics, and what not.

I did notice however that no where in your blogs you post such information on places where artisans live. I only see airports and shops as places to buy souvenirs, while in Romania you visited actual artisans.

Bulgaria boasts many places where artisans live and work and where you can, namely Oreshak near Troyan for pottery, Etara near Gabrovo for all sorts of artisan work, Zlatograd, Samovodska charsiya in Veliko Tarnovo.

You can witness the whole process of making Rhopode blankets…. But for this you have to venture into the countryside and talk to people too, like you did in Romania.

I had hope for this year, but l think we are pretty booked. It will have to wait till next year. The fact that there is a bigger bang for my buck sounds even better. Since you enjoyed visiting Bucharest, I am sure you will also enjoy Sofia.

I am actually curious to see which one will click better with you… so go there ASAP :. I have been to Bulgaria and have travelled to most places between Sofia and kamchia, and majority of those places in between.

I worked and lived and Romanians and Bulgarians in England and Scotland and travelled with. If I was to compare living in Romanian and Bulgaria, I would certainly choose Romanian over Bulgaria as Romanians seem to be a lot more friendlier. I agree totally with you. I had visited botch Bulgaria and Romania and I got big troubles in Bulgaria.

Peopel there are not friendly at all. One night I could not come back to my hotel, because I forgot the way. I stayed in the street trying to ask peopel about the way to my hotel but the majority refused to talk to me, may be they thought I was tigging. Taxi drivers are very bad too, my mobile was stolen in Ruse. I prefer Romania. I will choose Bulgaria. Romanians can be friendly but they are more concerned with money. This is based on my experience. Still on the list, but at this point, who knows when l will manage to get there.

The direct flight that was supposed to come has come, but the prices have doubled and tripled for most dates. Not that eager Forgot I replied to the original post. Hopefully it was your older model. I hope Calin will take up the cause, and start a nationwide movement to let the OAPs in! Blagoevgrad too is good. Romania has more to offer than Bulgaria in terms of natural beauty, history and yes they have way more castles, lovely castles and beautiful monasteries… Even though Bulgaria is a bit cheaper, I still prefer Romania, as it is wild and surprising, and extremely beautiful… Romanians are friendly and I love the language, it seems like Italian with a Russian accent, I find it unique and it sounds so cool.

Overall, I like Romania better than Bulgaria, but I think every and each person can have its own personal experience, so everyone is free to judge and decide for his own.
