Ask HN: Visiting Bulgaria and Romania: Where to Stay? What to Do? Who to See?

3 points by FlopV 10y ago ↗ HN

Looking for advice on getting the most out of the city from a startup perspective. I'd love to have the potential to meet a few freelancers or dev shops in the area face to face.

I wouldn't mind having some advice as far as where to stay, anything I have to see or do while I'm in the area. As a first time visitor, is their anything I just cannot miss?

I wouldn't mind building a good network of contacts that have a potential for friendships or working relationships.

To put it bluntly, what would you share with an American coming to Bucharest, Romania. Then Burgas and Sofia in Bulgaria.

In Bucharest, by day I recommend you to stay in Dorobanti Area and Herastrau area, by night try to visit the old town bars and nightclubs. If you didn't book any hotel I think the best hotel to say is Radisson.

We don't have that many tech spaces but you can visit Techhub.

I second this. I spent a month in a loft in Dorobanti and it was fantastic.
