When the first smiling rays of the morning dawn touch the sparkling blue surface of the sea, upon the horizon you see one of the most beautiful cities in the world in its entire beauty.

Varna is one of the oldest and most beautiful Bulgarian cities. Stretching along the Bay of Varna, with a total length of  over 11 km, the city reveals splendid views towards the sea and the Varna canal.

For centuries, this was a great and beautiful city to live in. Starting as early as the Ancient Greeks, this place has lured many, not only drawn by the sea, but also by the richness of the land, the great number of forests, miles long sandy beaches and of course the friendliness of the people.

Nowadays, Varna officially has 330 000 citizens, a figure that in reality probably reaches the half million mark. In the summer months this figure rises even more, when all those keen on entertainment, work or leisure come to spend their best summer in the Black Sea capital of Bulgaria. That figure is sure to grow as major carriers such as BA start direct flights into this great City.

Walking down the main pedestrian street, or sipping a morning coffee just across from the fascinating fountain's display, or jogging along the miles- long alleys of the Sea Garden, you can see life in its whole splendour and colour.

Varna is lively and ever developing city, a town that welcomes many thousands of visitors each year and still greets everyone of them with a smile.

Keeping the city young and always up to date are the thousands young Varna citizens. Varna has  five universities and two colleges, which alone make a total number of over 60 000 young and full of life people. It is also the home of one of the most prestigious Higher Education institutions in Bulgaria- The National  Navy Academy.

Laying down at the beach, shopping, or dancing till the break of dawn -what ever you choose to do in Varna it will be cheap, unforgettable, fun and exciting.
