Bulgarian hoteliers predict 10-15% rise in summer vacation prices but expect a smooth transition to the euro in 2026

Bulgaria's tourism industry expects summer vacation prices to rise moderately, by 10-15%, due to inflation. Although the leva remains the official currency, preparations are underway to adopt the euro, with no expected price shocks for tourists. Room prices will range from 70 to 1,000 leva, while beach services will remain stable. Tourists are advised to travel outside peak season for more affordable rates.
