Bulgaria is situated in southeastern Europe on the Balkan Peninsula. At the foot of the Vitosha mountain lies the capital, Sofia, offering a large number of architectural monuments and museums. In the seventh century in the Middle Ages came the first Bulgarian Kingdom. Currently, Bulgaria is a parliamentary democracy that joined NATO in 2004 and the European Union in 2007.
