Bulgaria is a country in southeastern Europe. It is bordered by many other countries as well as the Black Sea to the east. Bulgaria is very mountainous due to its location in the Balkan Peninsula. With a territory of 110,994 square kilometers (42,855 sq mi), Bulgaria ranks as the 14th largest country in Europe. A number of popular airlines have regular scheduled flights to the International Airport of Sofia from most of the European capitals and other countries. The main European railway routes pass through Bulgaria and international trains link Sofia to many European towns.

Bulgaria has the third-largest total number of uncovered archaeological sites in Europe after Italy and Greece. In 1972 the oldest golden treasure in the world was discovered in a necropolis near Varna, consisting of coins, weapons and jewelry dating back to 4,600 BC. Nine historical and natural objects have been inscribed in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
