Sliven at a Glance

Sliven Province is in south-eastern Bulgaria and has four municipalities. Its capital, Sliven, is one of Bulgaria's ten largest cities and lies in the Sliven Valley at the foot of the Balkan Mountains.

The town has long traditions in textiles, machine building, glass, chemicals and food. The Blue Rocks nature park and mineral springs offer leisure, and Kotel and Zheravna are known for their old architecture.
