Varna Bulgaria

Varna is the biggest city and beach resort on the Bulgarian Black Sea Coast and the third biggest city in Bulgaria. It serves as the administrative center of the province and municipality of the same name and is the tenth-largest city in the Balkans. It is also the fourth largest city on the Black Sea. MAIN TOURIST ATTRACTION • Varna Archaeological Museum. The museum's exhibits include monuments from past eras from Varna, the Region, and Northeast Bulgaria. The museum also oversees two open-air archaeological sites: the large Roman baths in the city center and the medieval Aladzha Monastery grotto at Golden Sands Nature Park. • Naval Museum is one of Varna's symbols. Located in the southern part of the sea garden, its most valuable exhibit is the destroyer "Drazki," which was placed there in 1957 and is known for torpedoing the Turkish cruiser "Hamidie" on November 12, 1912, during the Balkan war. • Museum of Ethnography. The museum's exhibits are housed in a revival house of the so-called "symmetrical type houses" built in 1860.
