To use the motorways and a defined network of other roads, you need a valid vignette. You can purchase this online or on site.
For motorhomes in category M1 (according to the vehicle registration document), the vignette requirement applies regardless of weight. Only motorhomes over 3.5 tonnes with a different classification (e.g. N2 or N3) pay according to distance and require a route card or an electronic transmitting device.
Also pay attention to the toll regulations in transit countries when travelling to Bulgaria by motorhome.
There are many motorhome parking areas in Bulgaria, which can be found in cities, national parks and along the Black Sea coast. During the high season, you should book these in good time. Prices for the parking areas range between €10-30/night
