📍 Destination Overview
Varna, on the Black Sea coast of northeast Bulgaria, is the country's third-largest city, main port and beach hub, its seaside summer capital. A beautiful long Sea Garden runs kilometres along the shore with fountains, sculptures and a dolphinarium. The city hides vast Roman bath ruins, while its museum treasures gold from tombs some 6,500 years old, the oldest worked gold ever found.
