Varna, with its 350,000 inhabitants, is Bulgaria's third largest city and the country's most important port. The average age of Varna's inhabitants is remarkably low. The main reason is because Varna is a university town and about 20% of its population are students.

Places to visit in Varna

Varna is a true Valhalla for museum enthusiasts. It has a natural history museum, a museum of the history of medical science, an urban history museum and an ethnographic museum. But there is a lot more you can do and see in Varna. Nezavisimost Square, the opera house, shines in the heart of the city. You'll also find the white stone church here, which is dedicated to Sveti Nikilai. The church symbolises the bond between the Bulgarian and Armenian people.

Discover Varna

The area that surrounds the city is also famous for its beautiful Black Sea beaches, and is also known as the Gold Coast. In the legend of the Gold Coast, it is said that golden treasures once turned into glittering golden sand. Close to Varna, with its beautiful promenade, many shops and vibrant restaurants, you can visit the nearby seaside resorts of Albana, Sveti Konstantin and Obzor.
