Top Locations to Buy Property in Bulgaria

Bulgaria combines mountain and sea, lively cities and quiet villages—often within a few hours’ drive. For investors, that means diverse property types: ski apartments, coastal homes, city rentals, and development land. Below are some of the strongest locations to explore—and why Bulgaria continues to stand out as a place of natural beauty, culture, and opportunity.
