4.0 out of 5 stars A fair and comprehensive guide .... 18 Sep 2004
By Mr. I. P. Whiting
Format:Paperback
I have spent seven weeks this year in Bulgaria, and found the Lonely Planet guide both easy to use and fair minded. The section on the precipitously set,fantasically, beautiful town of Veliko Tarnovo (you must go to this place!) and its historic village neighbour Arbanasi was wonderfully accurate and helped us plan our 3 day stay with great success. (Even the guides explanation to the towns fantastic light show was uncannily spot on, even down to the description of the late arrival of those who had paid for seats!)
Maybe a greater amount of detail regarding the far Black Sea southern coast as far down as the lovely beaches at Sozopol on the Turkish Border, as well as more information on the beguilling Strandzha district would have helped, but perhaps somethings are best left undiscovered by (lots of) western tourists!
The accompanying commentary on the country as a whole was fair minded and thoughtful.... My Bulgarian wife even approved. The country is certainly is one of Europe's best kept secrets.

3.0 out of 5 stars Bulgarian whine 3 July 2009
By K. J. Hayhoe
Format:Paperback
Surprisingly, this guidebook is not up to the Lonely Planet's usual standards, with much of the information out-of-date or just plain wrong. The maps, also, are somewhat confusing and the local tourist guides were far more useful for navigating around cities. Having said that, I'm sure Lonely Planet do not intend for their guidebooks to be used as accurate city maps - the books cover too much ground.
Bulgaria changes fast: every city we visited had probably over 100 hotels or hostels, while the guidebook only lists a few in each price range. It was the same for restaurants. In general, this was a useful guide but I'd recommend supplementing it with online information about whichever city/cities in Bulgaria you plan to visit.

3.0 out of 5 stars typical Lonely Planet 9 Dec 2010
By Harry W. Dale
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
if you know the Lonely Planet series this will not surprise you too much. Clearly the result of compiling input from many different travellers (some of whom we suspect never leave the safety and comfort of western cities too often). If you take the remarks and comments with a very large pinch of salt there is some very good information here. However there are some major gaps - seems the reviewers didn't cover the whole country, but still a good source if you are planning to visit most key areas
