The Post Office

Each city or town has a central post office, and large cities may also have smaller branch offices. At the central post office, one can mail letters and packages and purchase phone cards, tokens, stamps, envelopes, and post cards. Residents also have the option of paying various utility bills. Across from the post office in Sofia is a separate building which contains fax machines and phones for international calls.
