With a population of just 78,232, Sliven is hardly the cosmopolitan hub some expats dream of. Stagnant industry and a notorious sex trafficking problem cast a dark cloud over this former textile powerhouse. Bureaucracy is a persistent headache, and the local climate features a chilly Bora wind that can make life unpleasant. For those seeking an authentic, if rough-around-the-edges, Bulgarian experience, Sliven might fit the bill - but most would be better off looking elsewhere.
