Plan your Trip to Varna
Cosmopolitan, refined, green and with a long history, atmospheric Varna is the most popular seaside resort in the Balkans, located on the north-eastern coast of the Black Sea.
The third largest city in Bulgaria and for centuries one of its finest commercial ports, Varna still shows signs of its rich multicultural history, with traces of the Thracian, Greco-Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman, Russian, Bulgarian and also communist past scattered throughout its urban fabric. Wander along Preslav Street, the main boulevard of Varna built in the late 19th century, with its aristocratic aura and spectacular architecture. Admire the Neo-Baroque villas, the neoclassical buildings, and the elegant Art Nouveau and Art Deco mansions that adorn the historic city centre and today function as museums or cultural centres. Pause at the central Independence Square with its impressive "Singing Fountain". Enjoy a stroll through the pedestrian zone in the port with its palm trees, boat-filled marinas and lovely cafes.
With its stunning beaches, youthful liveliness (the city has been selected as European Youth Capital 2017) and its wonderful summer festivals, Varna has become one of the most popular summer destinations in Southeast Europe. Book your tickets for Varna and discover the marine charm of Bulgaria's "Summer Capital".
