• Pros
  • The sun and the sea are at more affordable prices than on the côte d'Azur, and the beaches less packed that on the Mediterranean.
  • The unusual atmosphere, very "Mitteleuropa", of a country where East and West, the Slavic and the Mediterranean worlds, meet.
  • The richness of the heritage and traditions, the variety of landscapes, the quality of the gastronomy and the craftwork.
• Cons
  • The weight of the socialist heritage: concrete buildings in a Stalinist style, open cut factories that disfigure the landscape, bleak public buildings with a bureaucratic staff.
  • The evils of unchecked capitalism: unemployment, begging, corruption, theft, delinquency.
  • Mass tourism in the large seaside resorts.
