No bikes in Sofia? Dude, am I a joke to you? :))) we do exist you know. You say "not to the extend like in the Netherlands" - well, true - but who can compare with the NL? Show me a country with more or at least equal bikes as in the NL? I don't think there is such. ;)

Do I have to pay Vat if I rent a property I own? Or is the 10% tax the only thing to pay?

Although comparing prices from the same supermarket chain in both countries seems fair, it's in no way reflective of the " price in Bulgaria". The prices shown here are noticeably much higher than what I pay by patronising local small businesses; something which should be standard practice anyway. Also Varna is known to be excessively expensive, on a par with Sofia. Yes prices are increasing everywhere and it's very difficult for Bulgarians when considering generally very low wages .

Im a portuguese living in Bulgaria for 10 years, got married here and I subscribe all the reasons we love this country. Allow me to suggest you a lovely place you must visit: koprivshtitsa its adorable.

Russian alphabet does not exist. There are 48 countries in Europe and only three alphabets, Latin, Bulgarian (Cyrillic) and Greek.

Hi, mexican girl. Sorry, but Bulgarians are really friendly. :)

There is also another story. Of the periodically disappearing middle class, due to rampant corruption, lack of justice, and frequent bankruptcies due to politicly enabled monopolies. So you emigrate and come back to be prayed upon the same people now over building using shady practices. Green spaces are diminishing rapidly, and high-rise ugly buldings is changing the mood forever. Bulding regulations are been highjacked to fit the enormous durty money laundry mashine that is now Varna. Every port town comes with shady busines, here with a russian twist.

Ask people there about TIM

Is 4100 a month enough to have a decent living in sofia?

Royal sun is underated stayed twice so far and will be going again next year

Is that a beach even?😂

The "colorful salt" you mentioned in the video is actually made with more spices than you indicated. These spices are commonly grown only in Bulgaria, which is why you can't find anything like it anywhere else in the world. Every region in Bulgaria has its own established variant, and there are hundreds of smaller variants throughout the country!

Great info, if you keep digging and digging example how much to own a house outright, insurance, council tax, parking, childcare it starts to get cheaper and cheaper in BG, but very true food has never really been cheaper. I think eating out for me has been the most noticeable over the last decade. And as another comment the supermarkets are not always cheaper than local shops, our local supermarket in Troyan area is very competitive.

село без мангали!!!

I can’t find the link to the website you mentioned in the important section, where can I find it?

Please someone if know to send me link of the Facebook groups🙏🏻🤍

I spent some days in Varna years ago and I like it! I plan to convince my german music group to perform in Bulgaria for german tourists or Brits.We can sing in 6 different languages!I speak Bulgarian too and will be a fun to see the new generation of Bulgarians!

i have just spent a week at the imperial resort and i thought the food was spot on !!.... i come on holiday to enjoy and sample the local cuisine not get food i can get anywhere back home in England. i have fallen in love with Bulgaria and its people it has taken the crown of being my favourite holiday destination and i have every intention of returning sooner rather than later.

Living cost in Sofia for a couple is from 1500 euros per month at the absolute low end ot 4000 euros per month at the absolute high end. This includes rent and would fall under most people's understanding of what a "normal" lifestyle is by modern and western standards.

Sozopol is better..

The bigger the resort the limited the intellectual capacity of the visitors.

Не е Георги Димитров, а е ГРИГОР (Гришо) Димитров.

There is no surprise that nobody order McDonald’s in Bulgaria . How you can compare all the tasty juicy fresh food around and expect someone to order maki 😂 People eating healthy food and doesn’t eat McDonald’s for breakfast lunch and dinner same as British. I hope they shut forever and took away this cancer food from the land of roses

I am very experienced living and working in several foreign countries (Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, USA, Cambodia, Japan). I have visited many others (e.g. Ukraine, Serbia, India, Dubai). So far, my favourite countries on my short list to retire to are Taiwan, Turkey and Bulgaria. I have never even been to Sofia. The key features that suggest that I should at least do an exploratory visit are as follows, and in this order of priority... 1. vegetarian-friendly 2. low cost/excellent value especially for groceries, rent and transportation 3. quiet (traffic in India was very noisy) 4. mostly Christian (Orthodox) and non-Asian population, but with some other minorities rather than a homogenous population such as Japan 5. distrustful of big government I am fed up with Canada because common sense and traditional values are so rare, especially in government policies. Question: why are none if these expats living on the southern coast near Turkey?

Snoooow

It is a rather dull country you have to admit-no riots, arsons, demonstrations are few and far between, no real wars to speak of, crime rate is nothing to write home about and the ski runs at the resorts get rather crowded during peak season. Ah yes and they give you lotsa cheep booze should you venture to the seaside. Boring…

As a guy from Sofia, every time I go to Varna or Burgas, on or off season, I'm always smitten by how beautiful everyone there is!

The grocery prices are probably off-season downtown Sofia. Which has similar GDP per capita to UK. If you're after financial independence, you gotta go full cottagecore. Spend 30K Leva on a socialist-era village house, and then another 30K to make it comfy. Not exactly free, but not the 7-digits you'd need in UK either. Or rent -- rent in rural areas is basically pocket change. But I digress. Learn to live with less and appreciate what you have. Grow your own vegetables. Learn some basic Bulgarian. Barter with your neighbors -- you have extra tomatoes, they have extra honey. Dig a well so you can water your tomatoes without paying crazy water bills. Dairy prices bother you? A cow will set you back 1000 Leva or so and can give you 20+ litres of milk per day! It's gonna be tough, but maybe that's the price you need to pay for peace of mind..

Bulgarians seem cold for some people, because we like to mind our own business, but don't worry ask us for help we will oblige with pleasure. We just don't love to talk a lot, especially about our private lives with strangers.

Nice. A lot of influence from the Otoman rule...

The name of the tennis player is Grigor Dimitrov, not Georgi. Gregory vs George - for English speakers. The Cyrillic alphabet was created by the disciples of St. Cyril and Methodius, and was named after St Cyril. The saints created the Glagolitic alphabet. Cyrillic alphabet is based on Greek and Glagolitic ones.

Top! Thanks man

Thank you very much.

You don't buy a kilogram of carrots. Thats a lot. So figure like half of that kilo cost. Probably like 2 carrots is half a kilo maybe? And 4 carrots is 1 kilo ? Good statistics video

Stopped shopping at Lidl far to expensive, the fruit & veg markets are so much better & fresher. Billa are not good value either. I know where I would rather live Bulgaria beats the U.K. so much better and the sun shines here.
