Bulgaria offers plenty of different venues for an alternative holiday destination abroad. And one of the most popular is Varna.

You’ll find Varna on the eastern coast of Bulgaria, and many previous visitors refer to it as a gem. This is probably largely because it has a lot to offer to all visitors. For example a visit to the Petrified Forest is well worth it. The Pobiti Kamani reserve is filled with limestone columns which look very much like a forest of trees. They weren’t actually trees however; they are simply the remains of an ancient seabed and what was left behind after it disappeared.

Elsewhere in Varna you can visit the beach. This is quite simply a stunning beach and once you have descended the Primorski Park steps to reach it you can spend the day enjoying everything it has to offer. For example why not take a dip in the sea, or perhaps enjoy one of the mineral water pools you will also find there?

The good thing about Varna is that it has a lot to offer all year. The summer is particularly popular of course because there are more hours of sunlight to soak up. But no matter when you visit you will find plenty to see and do.

Primorski Park itself is worth a look when you are heading down to the beach or coming back from it. It has been there for over a century and it provides another place to sit and relax and watch the world go by in Bulgaria. You can’t miss the Aquarium either as this is in the same place, so if you want to get inside and out of the sun for a while you should definitely give it a try.

This only really touches the surface of the myriad of events, locations and venues you can explore in Varna. But you will see that it offers a wide range of activities and things to see and do while you are there. If you want a holiday that can offer you a bit of everything and nice weather as well, Varna certainly delivers.
