Getting TO/AROUND: If you're coming from Sofia example (or other long distance) the best is to use the ETAP buses.

ETAP buses have several routes to/from Dobrich. The bus stop is at the parking of Hotel"Bulgaria". The office hours are 6am to 12am. The beset is to buy tickets in advance, although the buses are rarely packed (except for Sofia ).

I've used Sfia -Dobrich -Sofia bus many times and i have no complains. On contrary, if you get a crazy driver you might take the distance for less than 7 hours.
