Here in Bulgaria, we don’t like ill-founded restrictions.
That is why we did not allow our government to harass us with COVID measures. Bulgaria is known as one of the most liberal countries in Europe in terms of COVID measures, with no imposed lockdowns in 2021.
Starting on December 1, Bulgaria is even more accessible.
For your ski vacation, you only need to show your green certificate.
If you are vaccinated, you DO NOT need to get tested before you arrive.
If you are not, take a quick PCR test before arrival and you are good to go.
No test or certificate is required for children up to 12 years old.
Once you are here, there are no COVID restrictions whatsoever – all restaurants, bars and night clubs are open and the party is in full swing.
This makes Bulgaria a much better choice for you ski holiday this winter than Austria, France or Switzerland, where entry ban, COVID restrictions, quarantine for incoming visitors or even new lockdowns are expected (already a fact in Austria).
Leave the anxiety to the anxious! Come ski and have fun!
