Varna in 4 days, more than a beach town.
Varna holds some of the oldest worked gold ever found, Roman baths in the middle of town, and a coast of palaces and cliffs to the north. Opening seasons change a lot here, so a good plan starts from your dates.

The plan, day by day
- Day 1 · The cityThe Archaeological Museum and the Gold of Varna, dated 4600–4200 BC, then the Roman Thermae, the cathedral and an evening in the Sea Garden.
- Day 2 · Monastery and stone forestThe Aladzha rock monastery is closed from December to February. The Pobiti Kamani “stone forest” is a short ride out on bus 43.
- Day 3 · The north coastThe Balchik Palace and its botanical garden (separate tickets), Cape Kaliakra, and lunch at the Dalboka mussel farm, which is open all year.
- Day 4 · Euxinograd and the wine barsThe Euxinograd palace, park and 1891 cellar can be visited only by booking ahead by phone. Finish with one of Varna’s wine bars.
Worth knowing
- The city museums sell tickets only at the desk, not online, and keep shorter winter hours from October.
- In Varna, Bolt rents out scooters but doesn’t offer cars, so plan on taxis and city buses.
- Balchik and Kaliakra keep separate summer and winter hours. Check them for your dates.
Hours, prices and seasons change. Your MAGAZINE checks them for your exact dates and shows the source.
