Burgas and Veliko Tarnovo ranked best cities to live in Bulgaria for 2013
Veliko Tarnovo and Burgas have been ranked the best cities to live in Bulgaria for 2013. The finalists in the 2013 Best City to Live in Bulgaria competition were announced at a ceremony held at Sofia's National Art Gallery on Monday. Prime Minister Plamen Oresharski conferred the awards on the mayors of Burgas and Veliko Tarnovo.
For the first time in the seven years of the competition, organized by Bulgaria's national radio Darik and the 24 Chasa daily newspaper, two cities are tied for the top spot. Both cities got an equal number of points in the 20 criteria.
Veliko Tarnovo is winning the prize “Best City To Live In” for the first time, while for Burgas this is the third occasion. The seaside city won the prize in 2012, as well.
The special prize for “Fastest Developing City” went to the seaside resort town Nessebar. It boasts high fertility rate, large number of weddings and fast development.
Bulgaria's capital Sofia won the prizes “Best Business City” and “City With Best Cultural Life”. The seaside city of Varna got the prize “City With Best Outlook”, thanks to the development of its tourist zone and the plans for the enlargement of its port. The “Greenest City” award went to Kyustendil.
The “Best City Outside Bulgaria” went to the Serbian town Dimitrovgrad.
