Bulgaria is located in the eastern part of the Balkans and shares borders with Romania, Greece, and Turkey. To the north, the Danube River forms the border, while to the east, Hungary is bordered by the Black Sea. Sofia is the capital and the largest city of the country, with over 1 million inhabitants. Other important cities include Varna, Burgas, Plovdiv, and Ruse. Bulgaria has a Central European continental climate characterized by warm summers and cold winters. South of the Balkan mountain range, the climate is milder and has Mediterranean characteristics.
