Bulgaria is situated in the south – east part of Europe, in the eastern part of the Balkan Peninsula. For centuries, the roads passing through the territory of the country have been connecting Europe with Asia and Africa. Four common European transport corridors, connecting West and North Europe with the eastern and southern part of the continent cross their roads here.
Apart from its being situated on crossroads, Bulgaria is also known for its nature. In spite of its relatively small territory (110.912 km), the country has varied landscape. The scenery changes subsequently from vast plains, to hilly areas and high mountains. Large beaches and beautiful rocky shores stretch out along the Black Sea coast. The climate is moderately continental with four distinct seasons. The average annual air temperature is 10,5°C, with average January temperatures around 0°C, and the summer temperatures rarely exceeding 30°C.
