Touring in Varna
Varna is Bulgaria's largest Black Sea city and home to one of the country's most remarkable archaeological finds: the Varna Archaeological Museum's collection of Chalcolithic grave goods, considered the oldest worked gold in the world. Beyond the museum, the city center holds the Roman Thermae, one of the largest Roman bath complexes in the Balkans, and the gold-domed Cathedral of the Assumption. The seafront Sea Garden park stretches along the coast within easy walking distance of the port, connecting the city's beaches to its museums and cafes.
A private Varna shore excursion lets you combine the Archaeological Museum, the Roman Thermae, and a walk through the Sea Garden without the constraints of a group schedule, or head further afield to the cliffside fortress and gardens at Cape Kaliakra and Balchik. Your private vehicle, driver, and licensed English-speaking guide can adjust the day toward history, architecture, or simply time on Varna's beaches. All Varna shore excursions include our back-to-ship guarantee, so a full day exploring the Black Sea's cultural capital never risks your return to the ship.
