Signification
Asking for the restroom location.
Contexte culturel
Public toilets often require a small fee (0.50 - 1.00 BGN). Attendants usually sit at the entrance. In older villages, you might still find outdoor toilets (latrines), though this is becoming rare. In modern cafes, the toilet code is often printed on the receipt. The term 'WC' is universally understood and often used on signage instead of the full word.

Always start with 'Извинете' (Excuse me) to sound more natural and polite.
Carry Change
Many public toilets in Bulgaria cost money. Keep 50 stotinki or 1 lev coins ready.
