Hi all, I am very interested in visiting both Romania and Bulgaria, but only have 15 days this year, and would rather focus on one and get a better idea of the place than rushing through both. I have done pretty extensive research on both, and am truly torn about which of the two to visit this year.

For those of you which have visited both places, I would love to know which you enjoyed most, and why. I realize that this is different for everybody, and does not mean that it will be the case for me, but i just enjoy hearing other peoples experiences and opinions.

I plan to split my time pretty evenly between larger cities (sofia or bucharest included even though i know they get mixed reviews, but I would still like to spend at least a day or two in either), midsized cities, and small villagas in the mountains and or by the sea, so comparisons of those in both countries would be greatly appreciated.

Any other opinions, ideas, suggestions, etc. would also be very appreicated.

Thanks very much!
