Why Varna matters

Varna is the main city on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast. It combines a long sandy beach, a large park running along the shore, and a pleasant old centre with a cathedral, museums and lots of cafes. It's a good base for beach resorts to the north and for the historic sites in the surrounding region.
