Most vacationers can not imagine much under Varna. The port city on the Black Sea with its 335.800 inhabitants has a lot to offer. Varna has many beautiful museums, such as the Folklore Museum and the Archaeological Museum with the oldest gold treasure in the world. The aquarium and the dolphinarium are particularly popular with children.
Every summer, music lovers from all over the world enjoy Varna Summer, the oldest music festival in Bulgaria. The Cathedral of Our Lady built in 1896, the Pantheon, the Tower, the Planetarium and the Portal Monument are just a few of Varna's many attractions.
The beautifully landscaped Sea Garden (Morska Gradina), the green lung of the city, lies between the city center and the beach promenade. The modern, kilometer-long pedestrian zone leads into the popular park. In front of it stretches the city beach. Countless beach bars, cafés and restaurants invite you to linger.
Varna offers a mixture of dilapidated charm, modern shops, quaint pubs and old houses that is well worth seeing; the city is also a lively hotspot for young people, especially in the summer months.
