Varna - summer capital of Bulgaria

A July 2002 trip to Varna by Delfiini

Varna, forgotten city in Black sea coast. It seems that people don´t find beauty of this city during their visit in Bulgaria. Open your eyes and go around!!!

Plenty of things to see. First, Varna Summer, theathre and dance perfomances throughout the summer months. Second, Argeological museum is maybe the best in Bulgaria. Have a relaxing day on beach, pick up bus 9, 109 or 409 to Golden Sands and sunbath there with thousands of tourists. Go to party with bulgarian people in Varna, beachside discos are popular among them. Or just stroll around streets and look for beautiful facades...

Quick Tips:

Learn Cyrillic letters and buy good map. Visit central market where you can find everything needed and not needed. Clothes, fresh vegetables, chickens, fish, pigs and plenty of second hand things. Have a break there and buy some snacks for very low prices.

Best Way To Get Around:

Public transport is way to save money, bus ticket cost max. 0,60€ up to Golden Sands, in city it is around 0,30€. If you prefer taxi, use radiotaxi with meter, in Varna area it will cost max 3€ for long trip (around 10 km). But never take taxi from Cathedral, they will rip you off! In buses, take care of your belonings, lots of pickpocketers...

Restaurant

Located in shopping street, bit hidden behind of McDonalds. This place is not the cheapest in town but offers very nicely decorated small restaurant, bit like old Bulgarian countryside home. There is wide menu, mostly good quality Bulgarian food which you can´t find from beach resorts. Popular among the locals in evenings but usually tables available. Very nice and friendly staff makes it worth try!
