Varna is Bulgaria's third-largest city and its maritime capital. With a rental car you can explore everything at your own pace.
1. Varna Archaeological Museum
Home to the world's oldest processed gold — the Varna Gold, dating back 6,500 years. A must-see even for non-museum-goers.
2. The Roman Thermae
The largest Roman baths in Bulgaria, right in the city centre. Free entry on some days.
3. Sea Garden (Morska Gradina)
One of the largest sea parks in the Balkans — perfect for a morning walk or an evening stroll.
4. Sunny Beach
Bulgaria's most popular resort is just 90 km south. Drive down the coast for a day trip.
