Moving to Pleven

Pleven is a station on the international railway line that connects Moscow with Sofia and Bucharest. Pan-European highway, E 83, passes through the city and there are good national bus services to most Bulgarian destinations. Once in the city, expatriates in Pleven will find an extensive and efficient trolley bus network covering almost the entire city. The city has a vibrant economy that has benefited from much foreign investment, especially in the construction of large hypermarket shopping centers. This in turn has brought a new wave of expats moving to Pleven. There is a wide selection of housing, from modern apartments to historic buildings in the old city center. Expats in Pleven can compare notes on the best places to live by connecting on the forums and discussion groups of InterNations. Here, fellow global minds can share their experiences to help any new expatriate relocating to Pleven.

Working in Pleven

Pleven has a varied economy and is a center for oil processing, construction, metalwork, machinery and food industries. The most important sectors are those of the chemical, foodstuff and textile industries, but retail, cement and glass manufacture and services are also significant. Such a varied economy and much inward investment can create lots of opportunities for expats working in Pleven, but keeping on top of it all can be difficult. That is why membership of InterNations is so valuable to the expatriate community. Here they can make new business connections and explore professional opportunities together. The online socializing and networking opportunities are further enhanced by our Expat Magazine, which contains lots of helpful and informative articles on leading the expatriate life.
