What do people like (and dislike) about Burgas?

"The worst problem is the pollution from the oil refinery, it seems to affect most of the city and suburbs. There aren't enough waste bins or public toilets, leading to rubbish around and people defecating in public. There are many pavements that need repairing. The sewer system isn't good as you can very often smell sewage near the manholes. The beaches are not cleaned as regularly as necessary. Many of the apartment buildings are not well maintained. Many people just discard their rubbish anywhere and the worst offenders are smokers, cigarette butts can be found everywhere. Some people allow their pets to defecate on pavements all around the city and suburbs. The people don't seem to be proud of their surroundings. The Sea Gardens are beautiful as is the centre of the city. There are a lot of improvements being made to facilities. The people are generally very helpful. It's very safe at all hours (compared to other places I've lived). The internet is good and cheap, and the service is excellent. ," remarked another expat in Burgas, Bulgaria.

"Expats and digital nomads generally like living in Burgas, for several reasons. They appreciate the affordable cost of living, which allows them to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle without breaking the bank. The city's location on the Black Sea coast offers beautiful beaches and a pleasant climate, making it an attractive destination for those who enjoy outdoor activities and water sports. The local cuisine is also a highlight, with many delicious and inexpensive dining options available. Burgas has a relatively small but growing expat community, which can be both a positive and negative aspect. On one hand, it allows for a more authentic Bulgarian experience and the opportunity to immerse oneself in the local culture. On the other hand, it can be challenging for those who are not fluent in Bulgarian, as English is not as widely spoken as in larger cities like Sofia. The public transportation system in Burgas is generally reliable and affordable, but it may not be as extensive or efficient as some expats and digital nomads are used to in their home countries. Additionally, the city's infrastructure and amenities may not be as modern or well-maintained as in other European cities. While Burgas offers a relatively safe environment, petty crime and pickpocketing can be an issue, particularly in crowded tourist areas. Expats and digital nomads should take precautions to protect their belongings and personal safety. Finally, the job market in Burgas may be limited for expats and digital nomads, particularly for those who do not speak Bulgarian. Many remote workers may find it challenging to secure local employment or freelance opportunities. However, for those who can work remotely or have a location-independent income, Burgas can be an attractive and affordable place to live," said a member in Burgas, Bulgaria.
