🇧🇬 How to recognise Bulgaria in Street View
Bulgaria is in the Balkans. Here's how to tell you've landed in Bulgaria when Far Fetched drops you there in Street View.
| Drive on | the right ➡️ |
|---|---|
| Signs in | Bulgarian (Cyrillic) |
| Region | the Balkans |
| Borders | Greece, North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia and Turkey |
Clues to look for
Signs use the Cyrillic alphabet, often with Latin transliteration underneath. Look for Soviet-era apartment blocks, rolling farmland, and the Balkan mountains running across the middle of the country.
Driving side
Cars in Bulgaria drive on the right. So do Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Kosovo and Albania, which are also in the Balkans. Most of the world drives on the right, so this alone won't narrow it down much: check the signs next.
Countries it's easy to confuse with Bulgaria
If you guess a neighbour of Bulgaria you still score 2 points, and any other country in the Balkans scores 1 point.
