Vibrant and inexpensive cities

The capital of Bulgaria, Sofia, with 1.2 million inhabitants, is by far the largest city in the country. Is Sofia not yet on your bucket list? Think twice! Sofia is versatile, the locals are friendly, and there are plenty of fun things to do in Sofia. Moreover, the city is one of the cheapest in Europe. Living in Sofia is more than 50% cheaper than European countries such as the Netherlands. Just to give you a quick idea: a coffee lover can get a cappuccino for just over a euro, a public transportation subscription costs around 25€, and an apartment in the heart of the city can be found for as little as 300€. After Sofia, the historical Plovdiv and the port city of Varna are the next largest cities in Bulgaria. Plovdiv has even been named the cultural capital of Europe! This city breathes history and is like an open-air museum. Varna is located on the coast of Bulgaria and is a modern and lively city. If you want to live and work in Varna, you can enjoy the beach, take walks in the mountains, or explore the city center at your leisure.

Green nature, ski slopes and beaches

Every season is a celebration when living in Bulgaria. The country is the perfect place for outdoor adventures! If you work in Sofia, the Vitosha Mountain is just a stone's throw away. In the summer, this is the perfect spot for nature adventures. You can hike to the most impressive places, exploring forests, rocks, and beautiful waterfalls along the way! There are also numerous challenging mountain biking and kayaking routes. And for the true adrenaline junkies among us: you can even rock climb and paraglide here! Adventurers can definitely satisfy their cravings in beautiful Bulgaria!

Believe it or not, during the winter months, there is snow in the Vitosha Mountain, turning it into a small ski resort. For sun, sea, and beach, Bulgaria is also a fantastic destination. With well-known resorts like Sunny Beach and Nessebar, and lesser-known ones like Obzor and Zlatni Pjasatsi, you can enjoy the summer with an average temperature of 30 degrees Celsius. Besides the beautiful Bulgarian beaches, you can even spend a relaxing weekend in Greece! Within three hours, you can drive from Sofia to the historic Thessaloniki. This beautiful city is known for its stunning beaches and crystal-clear blue water! In short, whether you love the beach, green nature, or snow, Bulgaria simply has it all!

Bulgaria old-fashioned? You mean hypermodern!

If you think that stepping onto the workplace in Bulgaria is like going back in time by 100 years, you're mistaken! International companies are eager to establish themselves in Bulgaria and invest in modern office buildings equipped with all conveniences. An open workspace is totally in vogue. It's even proven that this increases productivity! You can quickly check something with your colleagues, boosting efficiency. When you work in Bulgaria, you are guaranteed to have a comfortable workspace! The environment is also taken into account; during the lunch break, you can get some fresh air and stretch your legs in the pleasant office garden.

The Bulgarian cuisine

We're all familiar with Italian and Spanish cuisine. Strangely enough, Bulgarian cuisine is much less known. A shame, because the traditional cuisine is one that a bon vivant should definitely try! Bulgarian cuisine is diverse, flavorful, and very fresh, influenced by neighboring countries such as Greece and Turkey. Bulgaria is mainly known for its excellent soups, salads, stews, and grilled meats. A typical Bulgarian dish is tarator, a cold cucumber soup with yogurt, dill, garlic, and walnuts. Deliciously refreshing during the warm summer! Other well-known dishes include shopska, a kind of Greek salad with a Bulgarian twist, and sirene po shopski, a vegetarian stew. The latter is prepared in a traditional clay pot. Hint: also a nice souvenir! People with a sweet tooth can indulge in Bulgaria as well. Bulgarians love sweets, such as baklava and palachinki, filled pancakes. The great thing about Bulgaria is that you can eat for a bargain. A dinner for two will cost you about €25!

Let us guess: you're thinking about working in Bulgaria! Fortunately, nothing is holding you back, as there are plenty of opportunities in this beautiful country. Check out our job vacancies abroad and apply today!
