Montana, Bulgaria

Capital City

With just 35,045 residents, Montana is a sleepy backwater that offers little to entice foreigners. The town reached its population peak over 30 years ago, and has since steadily declined. While the climate is temperate, summers can be brutally hot, with temperatures reaching up to 104°F. And with a large Roma population concentrated in the rundown Kosharnik neighborhood, safety concerns are ever-present. Overall, Montana seems better suited for hardy locals than adventurous expats seeking an exciting new life abroad.
