Actual question. Especially during the holiday season, when every cell of the body, tired from a year of overwork, strives to escape from the bustle of a gassed city somewhere to the sea in order to fully enjoy serene rest under the rays of the warm sun.
So, we decided to spend ours, unfortunately, short vacation in Montenegro or Bulgaria, but is it difficult to make a choice in favor of one or another country? Well, let's try to help in this matter. However, after reading all the pros and cons regarding each resort, you still have to make your own choice, taking into account your desires and, of course, financial capabilities.
Registration of entry documents
Any trip abroad of our boundless and indestructible, begins with the execution of the relevant documents. In particular visas. To spend a holiday in Bulgaria, you need to apply for a Schengen visa, which will require a certain amount of time - from 4 days to 1 month. This should be taken into account. With Montenegro, everything is much simpler - citizens of the Russian Federation are allowed a visa-free stay in this country for 30 days, which fits well into the vacation. We buy a ticket and in a few hours we are already soaking in the Adriatic!

Advice. Budva is an attractive Montenegrin resort for young people, where anyone can find entertainment for their pocket. However, in order to rent a cheap villa for living, you will have to look for them on the second and following lines - the 1st line from the sea is built up with hotels. Pebble beaches in Budva are wide enough, but to take a good place, especially during the peak season, you should wake up early.
Tour cost
In fact, the number of last-minute tours to Montenegro is minimal. This is due to the fact that holidays in this country are not cheap. For example, according to the results of 2011, a tour for two, including flights and meals, cost 100,000 rubles. Bulgaria is cheaper in this regard - last-minute trips to this country can be found, and according to the results of the same year, the trip cost 60,000 rubles. Naturally, with the global rise in prices for goods and services, prices in 2015 will be higher - we must be prepared for this. To find an inexpensive tour or a last minute tour, you need to track offers from different tour operators.

Hotels and service
The countries of the former socialist camp, which are Montenegro and Bulgaria, do not differ much from each other in terms of providing hotels and services in them. Rest will remind, for example, a vacation on the Crimean peninsula. The presence of 4-star hotels, not to mention 5-star hotels, is a rarity in both countries. Basically, 2 and 3-star hotels prevail here, which, with their furnishings, will immediately remind you of the atmosphere of Soviet sanatoriums. However, the service in Montenegro is more like European or something than in Bulgaria, where everything is done with some characteristic laziness.

Advice. In small Montenegrin villages located along the coast between the cities of Bar and Sutomore, you can have a great budget vacation. But the Bulgarian resort of Sozopol is an ideal place for family vacation on the principle of beach, lunch, rest, excursions. 3-star hotels prevail here, and you can also rent a room with all amenities and not infrequently with breakfast from private owners. Two excellent sandy beaches with shallow waters are an important factor when choosing a place to stay.
Climatic conditions
Montenegro, located a little south of Bulgaria, still has a drier and colder climate. This is due to the fact that the coastal strip is not as large as in Bulgaria, and the Adriatic Sea, washed by Montenegro, is colder than the Black Sea familiar to all of us. Water in the Adriatic rarely exceeds + 230 Celsius. However, unlike the native Black Sea, the Adriatic is famous for its the purest water. For fans beach holiday the choice is obvious - who prefers clean, incredibly clear azure water, welcome to Montenegro. The beaches are mostly pebbly. But on the Ulcinj Riviera there is a 13-kilometer strip of real sandy beaches!

Advice. The Bulgarian resort of Golden Sands will satisfy anyone - young people will capture a huge number of party places, couples with children will easily interest their children in a variety of attractions, leisure centers, amusement parks and the like, freeing up time for themselves. The sea in this part of Bulgaria is clean, warm, shallow, and the beaches are with soft, golden sand.
Well, for those who are used to the not very clean, but warmer and shallower Black Sea, as well as beaches with golden soft sand - welcome to Bulgaria. In favor of this country is the fact that everything is provided here for a holiday with a child - water parks with incredible attractions, dolphinariums. More developed entertainment infrastructure, both beach and night - for adults. In turn, Montenegro is a unique ecological holiday with trips to various reserves and National parks with untouched flora and preserved fauna. Sightseeing different eras, mountain and sports tours.
Summarizing all of the above, we can say that these Balkan countries are simply created for individual travel. You can easily save a decent amount if you take care of housing in advance by booking it, for example, using the Internet, as well as choosing the right one. chartered flight. Excursions can also be visited independently, spending money only on public transport and entry tickets. However, sometimes last-minute tours can be purchased at a price lower than the cost of air tickets. Offers like this sell out quickly. So, it's time to make a choice!
With the states that were previously part of the socialist camp, Russia has been friends for more than a decade, considering them friends, comrades and, in general, our brothers Slavs. In particular, and because of this, many parents choose such safe and comfortable, it would seem, Montenegro, Croatia or Bulgaria for holidays with children. However, when planning a vacation here, you need to be prepared for the fact that the situation may not be as rosy as it seems at first glance and as they try to present it in travel companies. In order for the vacation to leave only pleasant memories, and the expenses were not in vain, it is worth familiarizing yourself with popular misconceptions about these states in advance.
Each of these three countries good in its own way. For example, in Bulgaria tourism is mostly focused on children's recreation. That is why here the baby will be fun and comfortable, and parents will not have to constantly think about how and how to entertain their beloved child. There is a dolphinarium, several water parks, a lot of all kinds of animation available, as well as hundreds, if not thousands of resting peers for children and teenagers. However, this country is not very different natural resources and every year there are more and more hotels and resorts and less and less plants and green areas. Although for children this is probably not essential when there are slides and pools.
Those who like to relax in nature, but in a civilized environment and with all the amenities, should pay attention to Croatia and Montenegro. In these countries, you can enjoy not only picturesque reserves, waterfalls, lakes and islands, but also a superbly developed tourist infrastructure. By the way, in order to enjoy the beauties you don’t have to travel far - literally at every step outside the hotel there are monuments protected by UNESCO.
The main myths and their exposure
The main myth is that both Croatia and Bulgaria offer tourists with children a holiday of the same level. As experts in the tourism business say, in reality this is not entirely true. In Bulgaria, resorts are much simpler and cheaper, while in Croatia, hotels that are not the most luxurious, but as close as possible to European standards, prevail. Everything here is permeated with European calmness and sometimes indifference, in contrast to soulful and homely hospitable Bulgaria. However, on Bulgarian resorts vacationers will sometimes be haunted by the feeling of the Soviet past, and this is especially true for 3 * hotels.
The second myth concerns the lack of soft sand beaches in Croatia. In the reality sandy beaches there are in this country, but there are quite a few of them, and not everyone can tell where they are. That is why, when going to this country with a child and hoping to soak up the warm sand, and not walk on small pebbles, it is worth voicing this wish to the tour operator and clarifying the availability of such beaches near the hotel.
Another myth concerns the similarity of the climate of Montenegro, Croatia and Bulgaria. Despite the fact that all these countries are very comfortable in terms of weather conditions for holidays with kids, the climate in them is still different. In the southern part of Croatia and Montenegro, it is always more humid and rather hot than in the northern part of these countries and in Bulgarian resorts. This should be especially taken into account if the child has health problems. Optimal conditions for vacationers with poor health will be climatic zones northern Croatia and most of Bulgaria.
Those who put an equal sign between these countries are not entirely right, saying that they are equally good for relaxing with kids. As mentioned above, the infrastructure for children's recreation is best developed in Bulgaria, while neither in Croatia nor in Montenegro today there is not a single full-fledged water park entertainment, except for a couple of mini-water parks at hotels. Also in these countries there is clearly a lack of dolphinariums, park entertainment, zoos. Although these countries, in turn, are famous for their amazing nature reserves, architectural monuments and wonderful clean air.
Finally, when choosing a country for a holiday with a child, it should be borne in mind that the system is not always all inclusive("all inclusive") in Croatia or Bulgaria are similar to this system in Turkey or Egypt. In fact, it turns out that when choosing hotels on an all-inclusive basis in Bulgaria, parents are likely to be unpleasantly surprised already at the first breakfast by the scarcity of the diet. For the same money, you can get much more pleasure and variety of dishes in local cafes and restaurants. A similar situation develops with Montenegro and Croatia, where by paying for a full ration, the family runs the risk of not getting the variety and abundance of dishes and desserts that are typical for European and Turkish hotels.
Visa regime
Of the three countries mentioned, a visa is not needed only to enter Montenegro. The main thing here is that the validity of the passport expires no earlier than three months after the end of the trip. Despite the fact that some loyal border guards may close their eyes and not pay attention to the fact that one of the family members has almost run out of a passport, it is better not to risk it with such things. Tourists from Russia need a visa to visit Croatia. Today (summer 2750-0_bgblur_014) this country is a member of the EU, but is not a member of the Schengen agreement, so it will not work to enter the Schengen zone with a Croatian visa. You can apply for a visa to Croatia through a travel agency or independently through the Consulate of this country. To do this, you will need to fill out questionnaires and provide the necessary package of documents. Among other things, for minor children, you will need to provide a copy of the birth certificate, as well as a notarized permission if the child flies on vacation without parents, accompanied by third parties. It will be possible to issue a visa through a travel agency in about seven working days, and on your own in five days, plus a few days to send documents. Urgent visas can be done in three working days. The cost of a Croatian visa is now 65 euros (about 3,090 rubles) for tourists over six years old when applying through travel agencies, 54 euros (about 2,567 rubles) when applying through the Consulate.
As for Bulgaria, tourists can get a visa to this sunny country in about five working days. Here you need to remember about such a moment as the human factor. In the midst of vacations, consular officers are usually overwhelmed with work and sometimes errors occur with paperwork. That is why it makes sense to plan to receive passports with visas at least three days before departure, so that there is time left to correct possible typographical errors and inconsistencies. As practice shows, the refusal of a Bulgarian visa is possible if not only the mother with the child, but also the baby's nanny goes to Bulgaria. In this case, you will have to contact the consul and confirm that the accompanying person is not a potential immigrant. A formalized employment contract will help here.
Are tours to "children's" countries on fire?
As for the “star rating” of hotels, then, of course, the most entertainment will be in 5 * hotels, where service is better, rooms are more spacious, etc. However, some tourists with small and hyperactive children deliberately refuse to stay in such fashionable hotels, so as not to control the child for the entire vacation, making sure that he does not paint leather sofas or spill juice on expensive carpets. Of course, hotels that accept children are ready for any tricks of small guests and, most likely, they will not charge anything from their parents for the damage caused, but there is also little pleasant in such situations. That is why it is recommended to opt for good four-star hotels. By the way, when choosing a place to stay, you need to pay attention to the note in the booking system whether the hotel accepts children. In addition, it is worth remembering that in Europeanized Croatia the level of hotel service is an order of magnitude higher than in Bulgaria. Croatia is very reminiscent of punctual Europe, and Montenegro is more like a native, cozy and relaxed Crimea.
Dear members of the forum, please advise where it is better to go with a one-year-old baby. "We are torn" between Bulgaria and Montenegro (Petrovac).
In priority: quiet, as far as possible in early July, not crowded beach, clear sea, convenient entry into the sea, the presence of children's entertainment complexes (slides, swings). If we choose Montenegro, we plan to stay in a villa, maybe one of you had experience of such a holiday, we will be grateful for the names of mini-hotels). Where is it better to live with a child in Bulgaria? I read that renting an apartment there is also possible.
The only "+" of Montenegro in your version - there is no need for a visa. Needed in Bulgaria.
Everything else is in favor of Bulgaria.
alenaaa, you probably can’t even imagine how many babies of the age of one month are in Montenegro! and the beaches here are sandy (and quite a few!), And the sunset is gentle, and the salinity of the sea is only good (it neutralizes all sorts of intestinal infections, which expanse in the Black Sea, so Bulgaria and Turkey lead in the number of "stomach problems" per season)
my son and I went to CHG at his 5 months (for 3 weeks), after his year and a half (for the whole summer) and came now (son 3.5, daughter 10 months), again for the whole summer
everyone is happy!
And we, too, were all happy: we have been resting with a child in Bulgaria for 10 years (Albena), everything for him was 5. And in Montenegro - in September, everything would be fine, but in Petrovac on the beach in September there are so many people that for all summer in Albena you will not meet on the beach.
True, I have not been to Montenegro, but I will not go to Bulgaria anymore. Nothing bad specifically happened to us and the choice of place was right for us, but in the district so many children, and not only children, "suffered in their stomachs", as someone wrote here, that it put a lot of pressure on the psyche.
By the way, about Turkey, we went there more than once, including with a baby, and nothing bad ever happened to us or to those around us, in terms of illness.
In Bulgaria, you need to choose the right resort, in Albena there is a medical center (if anything), and in Turkey, I would not mess with medicine for babies at all. If a "quiet, not crowded" beach - in Albena hotels Nona, Elitsa (they are on the edge of the resort, stand on the shore), or Sunny Day, Riviera (closed resorts) ... In Montenegro, I repeat, it's good, but: the language barrier (our the hostess didn’t speak any language other than her own, they explained on their fingers, you still have to look for a wide beach (certainly not Petrovac), you can’t push through in Budva
To be honest, I would prefer Bulgaria over CG for many reasons. Although I will remain of my opinion that with such a small child, it is better to stay at home for 2-3 years, - this has been written here a million times. And about the wish. infection in Bulgaria, about which mothers constantly write, I will say one thing, that children must be constantly monitored so that dirty hands and sand, as well as products that have lain in the sun for tech. several hours, not dragged into the mouth! That's the whole truth about these infections. And in the end: Bulgaria is more attractive for children's holidays than Czech Republic...
As for the gastric infection and the need to monitor the child, then everything will be OK, you certainly said it right. But that's why adults also get sick, with a slightly lower frequency than children, but get sick.
Adults get sick easier, but still get sick.
I personally became ill on the day of departure. The flight was a nightmare for me. Three days after my return, I was also sick - headaches, runny nose, sore throat and vomiting, of course.
In terms of hygiene, I am very scrupulous, so I sin at the sea: a day or two before the illness, I accidentally swallowed water in the sea. It is possible that she picked up something in the hotel restaurant, but neither her husband nor her five-year-old daughter got sick at the same time. So all the same, the sea (we don’t go to the pool)
By the way, about medicine, in Turkey we treated the child with a doctor for insurance - everything is very professional. I also bought medicines for myself in Turkey at a pharmacy (antacid) - amazingly effective, otherwise I was ready to climb the wall, as my stomach ached, and I had already used up my ulcer medicines.
There, in general, goods, it seemed to me, are of better quality than in Russia.

We had to (((no complaints: the child fell down a hill, within 12 hours an X-ray, a tomograph, a consultation of specialists ... normal pain with modern equipment ... certainly better than in many of our regions ... I’m talking about the countryside in general
Quote:
Nothing like that, 4 times the family rested in Bulgaria, once for 1 day my husband was not very good, once for a couple of days for me, my daughter only on the last visit on the penultimate day was bad, it’s good that the next day, on the day of departure, everything was already OK. At the age of 12, they don’t play in the sandbox, they don’t put their hands in their mouths and they don’t drink water from the pool-sea, I’m generally silent about adults. Here's how lucky.
comparing the Black Sea and the Adriatic is wrong. Black is considered the dirtiest sea on the planet.
when the citizens of the USSR had no choice where to relax, then a trip to Krasnodar resorts seemed the pinnacle of happiness...
now that there is a choice and prices are comparable, I would swim in a cleaner place.
Quote:
you are limited on the way.
Leilochka I rarely visit the forum, but I remember you! You are here all the time elevating Turkey and rinsing BR =)
For a small child better Bulgaria. In general, I, as a doctor, do not recommend taking a child to a sharp change in climate for up to 3 years. And if you take it out, then at least for a couple of months! In children, the acclimatization period is up to 3 weeks.
We have been friends with the countries of the former socialist camp for decades and we think that we know our brothers Slavs inside and out. However, having gone on vacation with the whole family to Bulgaria, Croatia or Montenegro, you need to be prepared for the fact that the situation there has changed somewhat and not quite the way we imagine it. To meet expectations, and the cost of vacation does not seem in vain, it is better to familiarize yourself with common misconceptions in advance.
Each of the three named countries of the former socialist bloc is good in its own way. In Bulgaria tourism infrastructure geared towards children. Here you have a dolphinarium, and water parks, and a variety of animation, and a bunch of peers for your children. However, this country clearly does not shine with natural resources. And every year the number of hotels is growing, and the number of plants is getting smaller. Although, you see, for children this is just not the most important thing.
For those who prefer to relax in civilized conditions, but in nature, there is a direct road to Montenegro and Croatia. There are not only nature reserves protected by the state, beautiful lakes, waterfalls, islands, but also well-equipped places for walking with the whole family. Moreover, you don’t have to go far - every step beyond the territory of the hotel is a monument protected by UNESCO.
Obvious not fact
About the myths that have developed over the decades about holidays in Bulgaria, Croatia and Montenegro, we were told by Rimma Yanushkevich, general director The first network of specialized travel agencies "Traveling with a child".
Myth 1. Croatia and Bulgaria offer the same level of vacation.
Reality. This is not true. Resorts in Bulgaria are simpler and cheaper than in Croatia, where there are not luxurious, but close to the European level resorts. Everything here is permeated with European calmness and indifference. But in Bulgaria, the feeling of "sovietness" will haunt you from time to time. Therefore, between three star hotels Bulgaria and Croatia cannot put an equal sign.
Myth 2. There are no sandy beaches in Croatia.
Reality. They are, but they are few, and not every specialist knows where they are. Meanwhile, tourists, getting acquainted with the avenues, often mistake pebble beaches for sandy ones and vice versa. Therefore, it is worth discussing your wishes with the tour operator in advance and clarifying its capabilities.
Myth 3. Croatia, Bulgaria and Montenegro are similar in terms of climatic conditions.
Reality. This is not entirely true. In Montenegro and southern Croatia, the climate is more humid and hot than in the north of these countries and in Bulgaria. It must be borne in mind that for children who have health problems, this is not the most the best option. Climatic conditions Bulgaria and the northern part of Croatia are more suitable for people with poor health.
Myth 4. Croatia, Bulgaria and Montenegro are equally good for families with children.
Reality. As we have already noted, children's service is best developed in Bulgaria. In Croatia and Montenegro there is not a single full-fledged water park (a couple of small slides in front of hotels do not count), zoos, park entertainment and dolphinariums. But these two countries can boast of nature reserves untouched by civilization, clean air and architectural monuments.
Myth 5. "All inclusive" in Montenegro, Croatia and Bulgaria is equivalent to this service in Europe, Egypt or Turkey.
Reality. “If you agree to all-inclusive in these countries, especially in Bulgaria (from 1,500 euros for parents with one child), you will be surprised at the scarcity of the diet,” says Rimma Yanushkevich. “For the same money, you will get much more pleasure from food and its quantity in local restaurants.”
The situation is similar with the all-inclusive function in Montenegro and Croatia. By paying it (from 2500 euros for parents with one child), you run the risk of not getting the abundance and variety that are typical for food in Turkey or European countries.
Attention: mode!
Of the three countries listed above, a visa is required only to enter Bulgaria. We remind you that the minimum period required for its receipt is five working days. And since consular officers are overwhelmed with work at the height of the season, errors in paperwork are inevitable. So it would be wiser to get passports with visas at least three days before departure, so that there is time to correct typos and inconsistencies.
Refusal of a visa (25 euros for an adult, for children under 16 free of charge) is possible if a mother, a child and his nanny enter the country - no matter if they are men or women. But you should not despair. You should contact the consul and show him, for example, a formalized employment contract. The main thing is to confirm that the young lady accompanying you is really a nanny, and not a potential immigrant. Bulgarians compensate for this unpleasant moment by the fact that when a mother and child receive a long-term visa for several months, the father can apply for a multiple-entry visa so that he can visit his wife and children without wasting time each time obtaining permission. Also, a visa, but not an ordinary one, but a long-term one (for three months), can be denied to young mothers with children, allowing them to enter the country for a maximum of a month.
“Since Bulgaria has joined the European Union, it is safe to say that every year the visa regime for Russians will become more complicated,” suggests Rimma Yanushkevich. “We have already felt the first steps in this direction after the change of the Bulgarian consul.”
When entering Montenegro and Croatia, a visa is not needed, the main thing is that the “expiry date” of the passport ends at least three months after the start of the trip. Although loyal border guards may close their eyes and let your family go to a decent hotel, even if the passport expires in a month. But it’s better not to risk such things, suddenly “your” border guard will quarrel with his wife in the morning, and you will turn out to be extreme.
It doesn't get hot
No matter how pessimistic it sounds, but the fact remains - last-minute tours to Montenegro and Croatia cannot be. There is little good hotels, and those that are, "do not burn", so getting into them for "ridiculous" money, as they offer in brochures, is unrealistic. You can save, perhaps, only if you rent an "apartment" or "villa" - a small building on the second or third line from the sea (500-700 meters) next to the house where the owners live. So keep in mind: you need to book hotels in these two countries a few months (at least 1-2) before your vacation. The fact is that there is not so much land for construction in Montenegro and Croatia (most of it is the territory nature reserves), which is why it is quite expensive. Therefore, the situation with the shortage of hotels in the near future is unlikely to change much.
The concept of a “hot tour” is more relevant for Bulgaria, but even there vouchers “burn” very rarely, although for several seasons in a row there have been rumors about an intestinal infection in local hotels. As in every fairy tale, there is some truth in this one, so hotels, in principle, can sell “hot tours”. After all, Bulgaria cheap resort, the children rest there are very different, and the water in the Black Sea is not very salty and microbes live there easier than in the Red or Aegean. Besides, hotel business in this country it is better developed than in its neighbors: there are (though not very many) interchangeable hotels.
What the stars say
Let's agree in advance that holidays with children in five-star hotels are not the best option. The child, and the parents, will most likely be uncomfortable there. Expensive furniture and accessories will make it difficult for you to drop the phrase “don’t go there, don’t touch it” from your speech, and children will not be happy to listen to it. Of course, hotels that officially accept children are ready for anything. Yes, they won’t charge you for the damage caused by a hyperactive child, but, you see, it’s also not enough pleasant in such situations. Therefore, opt for good 4-star hotels, which, by the way, are not so numerous in all three countries - in Montenegro, for example, they can be counted on the fingers. Our advice to you: persistently asking for a hotel that does not accept children is not worth it. Having settled there, you will voluntarily-compulsorily take all responsibility, including material, upon yourself and pay in full for broken dishes and broken interior items.
“And do not forget that in more Europeanized Croatia the quality of hotel service is much higher than in Bulgaria, and between Croatia and Montenegro there is the same difference as between Bulgaria and Anapa,” explains Rimma Yanushkevich. - Croatia is more like Europe, and Montenegro is more like Crimea, relaxed and not always with good service. By the way, in Croatia, the main European sign can be called the punctuality of urban transport, which runs strictly on schedule. So it's better not to be late!" Specify important points for you (for example, the specifics of the nutrition of children with allergies) in advance and enjoy your vacation!
If Egypt with the scorching sun and Turkey with crowds of Russian vacationers are already tired, the tourist’s gaze turns to Eastern Europe with "friendly Slavic" states. Of course, we mean Montenegro and Bulgaria. However, the question always arises which country provides the best conditions for recreation: Montenegro or Bulgaria? Let's compare point by point.
- 1. How to get into the country?
In order to make a trip to Bulgaria, before the trip you need to apply for a visa - either Bulgarian or Schengen. The process of paperwork and processing can take from 4 days to a month. You don’t need a tourist visa to Montenegro, just buy a plane ticket. - 2. Prices for tours to Montenegro or Bulgaria
There are few burning ones, because holidays in Montenegro are relatively expensive. In 2011, about 100 thousand rubles came out for two weeks for two with a flight and meals. Bulgaria is cheaper, last-minute tours can be found, but most likely they will have to wait a long time. Ride on sunny Beach can cost only 60 thousand rubles for two. In general, tours to Montenegro, Bulgaria are still abroad. And you have to pay accordingly. - 3. Service and hotels
By, Montenegro-Bulgaria in service resemble the Crimea. Sometimes both there and there you can find excellent four-star hotels, but most often two or three-star ones are offered, furnished reminiscent of sanatoriums Soviet Union. The quality of service in Montenegro is slightly higher, in Bulgaria everything is done with some "laziness". - 4. Sea
Montenegro is located a little south of Bulgaria, but the cool Adriatic Sea has an influence. Montenegro is cooler and drier than Bulgaria, since the coast is not so long. , mostly pebbly, and the water of the Adriatic rarely heats up higher than 22-23 degrees Celsius. In Bulgaria, the sea is Black, familiar from childhood. It is not very clean, but it is shallow and warm. Beaches with soft fine sand, for children, rest here is much more comfortable than in Montenegro. So in terms of a beach and swimming holiday, the choice of Montenegro or Bulgaria suggests an answer to the question of what the tourist prefers: pleasant warm or clear azure water. - 5. Other types of recreation
Both Montenegro and Bulgaria offer tourists a wide range of entertainment for every taste. However, there are more entertainments in Bulgaria: there are water parks, dolphinariums, and entertainment centers, and nightclubs, beach activities, a lot of interesting tours. And in Montenegro, on the other hand, there are ecological holidays, mountain, sports tours, inspection of churches and ancient monuments, trips to nature reserves, etc. Those who have already purchased Montenegro Bulgaria tours in advance know that in both Eastern European countries, besides the sea, there are chic ones. - 6. Nutrition
In 2011-2012, food prices in Bulgaria were cheaper than in Montenegro. For 8 euros in Montenegro, you could only buy a main course and a drink (juice, beer, water), and in Bulgaria - a salad, second course, dessert, drink, a glass of wine. However, perhaps due to the Eastern European crisis, food prices in both countries will increase.
People of Montenegro and Bulgaria
Bulgarians are predominantly brown-eyed brunettes, more Slavic in features (but not by much). Montenegrins are more hardworking than Bulgarians. This is noted by everyone who traveled on tours to Montenegro and Bulgaria. So, usually Montenegrins clean up hotels more often, carry out current repairs. And the Bulgarians are a very tight-fisted nation, and, for example, it will not work to bargain for a discount, while in Montenegro you can always agree on a price reduction with private individuals and sellers. But in both countries, Russians are treated sincerely, locals remember all the good things done by Russians in different periods of history. It can even be argued that Russian tourists are loved and respected both in Montenegro and in Bulgaria.
