Bulgaria is a EU member state located in Eastern Europe, which offers a wide range of location variety.

It has a rich history that can be seen in many monasteries, castles and Roman ruins. Various cities can double for many European Cities while the capital, Sofia is a modern city with many historical landmarks. The city also presents ample opportunities to simulate a wide range of international locations with its varied architectural styles on display. The Pirin and Rila mountains, with their high snowy peaks and ski resorts, can easily pass as the Alps. On the Black Sea coast, Varna can double for French Riviera locations, while the beaches can play as the Greek Islands or double for the Los Angeles coast during the warm summer months.

The country’s relatively small territory keeps logistics easy, even the furthest locations are a couple of hours drive away. To get an idea of what Bulgarian locations can look like, have a look here.
