Barter for Bulgarian crafts

Aside from sightseeing, shopping for handicrafts is the next best experience in the old town. You can’t go far without stumbling across a little gem of a shop, where wooden toys, lacework and colourful embroidery are all there to be snapped up from the people who lovingly make them. Jewellery and ceramics make nice mementos too. Just bring your A game for a great price.
