Sofia
Mountains on your doorstep, EU's lowest cost of living, salaries that go further.
Underrated Eastern European capital with a serious tech and BPO scene. Mt. Vitosha on the horizon, leafy boulevards, and unbeatable value for Western European salaries.
Multilingual hubs in Mladost, Business Park Sofia and the city centre. Huge German, Dutch, Nordic and French-speaking communities working in shared services and tech support.
Four metro lines, trams, trolleybuses and buses. A monthly pass is around 50 BGN (€25) and gets you everywhere including the airport.
Hambara for hidden bohemian bars, Studentski Grad for the student club scene, rooftops in the centre and craft beer at Kanaal.
Hadjidraganov's Houses for traditional Bulgarian, Cosmos for modern, Made in Blue for cocktails, and Halite market hall for everything.
Ski and hike on Vitosha (30 minutes from town), football at Levski and CSKA, and weekend trips to Rila Monastery and the Seven Rila Lakes.
