Varna
4 things to see
Varna is Bulgaria’s sea capital, where the Black Sea beach and the long Sea Garden park along the coast cost nothing, and the archaeological museum holding the world’s oldest gold treasure asks only a few euros. The city carries all the amenities of a major destination at Bulgarian prices, which stay low even by national standards. It connects easily to Sofia and Plovdiv inland and to the clifftop former capital of Veliko Tarnovo, and the shoulder months of late spring and early autumn bring warm sea air without the peak-summer beach crowds.
