Pernik Province

Western Bulgaria next to Sofia and the Serbian border: a former coal and steel town turning into a commuter and logistics base for the capital.

About the province

Pernik at a Glance

Pernik grew as a coal-mining and steel town; today its closeness to Sofia and the Struma motorway make it a base for manufacturing, logistics and commuters. The town is also known for the Surva international festival of masquerade games, held every January.
