What is the BEST place to live in Bulgaria? 🇧🇬

I have lived in Bulgaria since 2018. I've visited most of the major areas, all the major cities and developed my own ideas through those experiences in Bulgaria.

What is the best place to live in Bulgaria? Today I'm sharing my experience and my insights about where to live in this beautiful country.

Unless you're really into coastal cities and having the sea next to you, Plovdiv would be the best option for most people outside Sofia. Varna and Burgas are good only in summer. The only thing Plovdiv is severely lacking, compared to Varna and Burgas, is a well-functioning airport, as currently it operates only one commercial flight to London Stansted. There are occasional charters as well, but besides that, you'll have to go to Sofia if you want to fly somewhere. Nonetheless, Plovdiv is one of a kind city in Bulgaria. It has a rich historical and cultural background and a beautiful scenery. It probably also has the prettiest city centre of all major cities in Bulgaria and is economically the 2nd most important city after Sofia, so if you're well-qualified, you'll be able to find a decent job. No city in Bulgaria is perfect though, so everybody should decide what's most important for them. If you're used to and like living in a big city, Sofia is the best place. The best work opportunities are also there.

Plovdiv is around 340.000
Varna around 312.000
Burgas only 196.000
Don't know where you got the idea of Plovdiv being so small?

Thank you for the nice video. I lived for a year in Sofia and loved it, even though the winter was brutal for me 😅 Plovdiv has an airport and it actually is the 2nd largest city in Bulgaria. Also, Plovdiv has better weather than both Sofia and Varna. However, the sea in Varna makes it very appealing! I don't like Burgas for the same reason, I don't like touristy places very much, as it tends to be overwhelming and too crowded! The good thing about Plovdiv is that it is very close to the Greek coast by car. Sofia definitely has more things to do but Plovdiv is no too far behind! I am originally from Ruse, much smaller city and completely different feel than Sofia, I really loved my time in Sofia! I think that the next time I go back to Bulgaria will be either in Varna or Plovdiv.

Plovdiv is second largest city in Bulgaria but Burgas is most often chosen as the best city to live in and ofcourse most peopple agree with that :)

Well put. Good food for thought. As I’m getting much older my needs and wants lead more to the big city as well for full time living. Thank you for the great content. Cheers from a fellow Canadian.

Hi I think Plovdiv is better than Sofia for me personally cause its smaller and I don’t like big cities . Plovdiv seems to be right size to me, also people seem more friendly than Sofia

Pleven is a great city to live for people looking for a peaceful life.It's not a big city, but it's not a small city either . 100, 000 residents.Extremely low crime.The price for a good life is 1.5 times lower than Sofia.Pleven is the medical center of Bulgaria .The city has an incredibly beautiful central part.Mountain and ski tourism 90 km.The Danube is 50 km away, where is the largest group of islands on the river.Very affordable housing prices and rentals.

Great information. I'm aligned with you as to why I need to be in the city area. I definitely need that area I'm in to be functional and convenient. 🤗 Thank you so much for the information. Great video 👍🏽👍🏽

Where in Sofia is this place in your background exactly? It looks like an English garden or some sort of a park. Absolutely phantastic view!

My favorite places are Varna and Plovdiv. I don't like Sofia at all, even though most stuff seems to be happening there.

[dennisstoichkov]

Plovdiv actually has the 2nd largest population in Bulgaria. (350, 000).
1) Sofia 2) Plovdiv 3) Varna 4)Bourgas.... in order of population size.
