Sofia

Sofia is charming. Although people in Bulgaria are reputed to have income levels similar to their neighours in Romania, Sofia looks much more developed in terms of infrastructure and feels dynamic while comfortable to live in. Dining out is ridiculously inexpensive too. Near the city centre, I had a wonderful risotto with veal and some specialty mushrooms, a soup, and a cappucino in a pleasant restaurant for only 7 Euros. Compared to what I had in Bucharest, it was half the price with double the quality!
