The Republic of Bulgaria is a republic in the southeast of Europe. It borders the Black Sea to the east, Greece and Turkey to the south, Serbia and Montenegro and the Republic of Macedonia to the west, and Romania to the north along the river Danube. It is one of Europe's oldest countries.
Bulgaria is comprised of the classical regions of Thrace, Moensia and Macedonia. The southwest of the country is mountainous, containing the highest point of the Balkan Peninsula, peak Musala at 2,925 m, and the range of the Balkan Mountains runs west-east through the middle of the country, north of the famous Rose Valley.
Hill country and plains are found in the southeast, along the
Black Sea coast in the east, and along Bulgaria's main river, the Danube in the north.
Other major rivers include the Struma and the Maritsa in the south.
The Bulgarian climate is temperate, with cold, damp winters and hot, dry summers.
The Balkan Peninsular derives its name from the Balkan or Stara Planina mountain range which runs through the
centre of Bulgaria into eastern Serbia.
