Location
Bulgaria has one of the richest cultural histories in Europe. Situated in Southeastern Europe, Bulgaria has close interactions with Western Europe as well as its many neighbors. It is bordered to the north by Romania, to the west by Serbia and Republic of Macedonia, to the south by Greece and Turkey, and to the east by the Black Sea, which links Bulgaria to Russia, Ukraine, and Georgia.
Blagoevgrad is the perfect place to live and study, according to The Rough Guide to Bulgaria. Students represent a quarter of the town’s population. The Rough Guide goes on to describe “the lovingly restored old quarter,” and notes that Blagoevgrad’s clubs and cafes are the “most stylish” in all of Bulgaria. The Blagoevgrad region abounds in natural beauty and tourist attractions such as the Rila Monastery (a UNESCO World Heritage site), the spa town of Sandanski, and the Seven Rila Lakes. World-class ski resorts, horse-riding and hiking tracks are nearby in the Pirin Mountains. Istanbul is easily accessible by car or bus, and Greece is a two-hour drive. Bulgaria’s capital, Sofia, is an hour away. Its international airport is your link to exciting cities all over Europe.
