Varna Holiday
 |
Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin |
Overview: As the third largest city in Bulgaria, and one of the country's
most attractive towns and a popular holiday destination, Varna is
known as Bulgaria's Seaside Capital and the 'Pearl of the Black Sea
Coast'. The town is arranged in tiers along the curve of Varna Bay,
and besides being a popular beach resort, it rivals the important
cities of Sofia and Plovdiv in its wealth of museums, art
galleries, historical buildings and cultural entertainment, and as
such is a year-round holiday destination.
The 19th-century Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin is an
impressive landmark, while the extensive ruins of the Roman Spa in
the centre of town constitutes the largest ancient building in
Bulgaria, dating back to 1700. Varna is the main port for
commercial and naval shipping and has a casual, cosmopolitan
atmosphere with a Mediterranean charm created by the sunny climate,
calm sea, beach promenades and red-tiled roofs, popular with
holidaymakers.
Varna is the gateway to the nearby beach resorts, including Albena
and the mega-resort of Golden Sands, and numerous scenic spots
along the coast are within easy reach, such as the nature reserve
at Kamchia and the crumbling rock formations and dramatic cliffs
along the Balchik coast.
