Location of Varna
Varna is located in the north-eastern part of Bulgaria. The harbour town is situated 125 km northerly from Burgas and 470 km from the Bulgarian capital city. The climate is Mediterranean and influenced by the sea. The winters are mild and temperatures normally stay below freezing point. During summer the temperature regularly raises to more than 30 degrees. At the moment there live about 350,000 people in Varna but there is a growth trend.
Traveling to Varna, Bulgaria’s vibrant coastal city, offers multiple transportation options. The most convenient way is by air, with Varna International Airport serving domestic and international flights. Alternatively, travelers can opt for trains or buses from major cities like Sofia, Plovdiv, and Burgas, operated by the Bulgarian State Railways and various bus companies. For those exploring nearby destinations, ferry services connect Varna with cities across the Black Sea, including Odessa in Ukraine and Istanbul in Turkey. Taxis and rental cars are also readily available for local travel.
Housing situation
The housing market in Varna offers a great variety of accommodations – from low-budget to luxurious. The medical university has also modern hostels where students can rent small, but reasonably priced rooms (unfortunately without cooking facilities). Many foreigners from Western Europe, especially from Great Britain, chose Varna not only for holidays, but also to stay there the majority of the year. That led to higher rents but simultaneously to more high-class real estate.
Sea capital Varna
In tourism Varna competes with the second Bulgarian sea city – Burgas. In comparison to Burgas, which is a little bit smaller, Varna offers better shopping possibilities and the party mile which is especially admired by young people and located in the city centre directly on the waterfront of the Black Sea.
Varna, Bulgaria’s coastal gem, boasts an array of attractions for visitors. The iconic Varna Archaeological Museum showcases artifacts spanning millennia, while the Varna Sea Garden offers scenic strolls and recreational activities along the Black Sea coast. History buffs can explore the Roman Thermae and the Aladzha Monastery, carved into the cliffs. For a taste of cultural richness, the Varna Opera House presents world-class performances. Beach lovers flock to Golden Sands Resort, just north of Varna, for sunbathing and water sports. With its blend of history, culture, and natural beauty, Varna captivates travelers year-round.
