Boasting lively restaurants, fascinating culture and a thriving post-office nightlife, Sofia promises an exciting balance of work and adventure. If you love being in nature, Vitosha mountain is a short drive away from Sofia : whether it’s for a walk, a picnic around one of many huts or a full day away from the city. You can enjoy all of it, while making the city your base.
Bulgaria boasts the fastest 5G internet download speed in Central Eastern Europe and is home to a supportive and vibrant expat community. You can embrace a luxurious lifestyle without breaking the bank. An average meal here currently costs no more than 8 EUR. Not to mention, you can visit the country even without a Schengen visa (for now). However, keep in mind that from the 31st of March Bulgaria will be part of the Schengen zone if you travel via air or water routes.
To dive into the beating heart of the city, there’s no place better than the City Center. Indulge in a variety of cultural events at the National Palace of Culture or stop for refreshments at its onsite cafe, Peroto, which is known as a literary hub and a hangout spot for several remote workers. Make sure to have a walk through the streets around Slaveykov square and Vitosha street to experience the city’s charm.
When it’s time to work, grab your laptops and head to coffee shops like Altruist and Barista Coffee and more, where you can spend productive afternoons while hobnobbing with fellow nomads.

We also suggest heading out for a delicious cup of coffee in the morning at Cakey Bakey, a chic cafe with a downstairs meeting area.

If you’re there in June you’ll be able to experience the annual Bansko Nomad Fest, a vibrant week-long event dedicated to celebrating and promoting location-independent lifestyles. You can partake in engaging keynote speeches, connect with hundreds of fellow remote workers and have the best time. Coworking Bansko is one the most prominent communities for digital nomads.
