Do and don't in Bulgaria

Taxi drivers try to rip some money off the foreigners (there is already a topic on this theme). So avoid getting cabs from the airport.
People should also be careful where they park their cars. You should better use a paid parking to have your car secured. And do not leave your money, photo camera, phones etc in sight in your car.

Not sure what EuropeWord is thinking about but one should NOT leave valuables in sight in your car anywhere!!!  No matter whether you are in Bulgaria, in the US, or many other places around the world, keep your valuable posessions out of sight.

Having said that, some comments on the DOs and DONTs in Bulgaria:  One of the possible activities while visiting Bulgaria is to go to one or several of the many monasteries across the country (many of them are in the mountain regions).  If you do that, you may want to wear some more modest clothing, so not to offend the monks or nuns. 
On the DOs side -- you need to visit several places (or chose some of them dependent on your schedule):
Bansko, the Rila Monastery, Bachkovski monastery, Veliko Tqrnovo, Nessebar, Sozopol, Varna, Plovdiv, the Valley of Kings (near Kazanlak), Shipka....

I would say that taxi drivers in Bulgaria, especially some at the airport will rip you off regardless of whether you are a foreigner or not. This is such a shame, and it is unfortunate, but has happened to me elsewhere in the EU, not just in Bulgaria.

There are shuttles from the airport to the city central train station and the intercity bus station, which is quite reasonable compared to taxi and also convenient to get on either bus, tram or train. Just check the blue signs at the airport right as you are walking out of the customs control. We used them today and it cost us only 3 euros/person and we had 2 large suit cases each. So quite cheap compared to a taxi fare which you are not sure of how much would really cost. I think the shuttle bus was called Choice.
