Airport travel guide
Arguably the most popular destination in Bulgaria during the summer months, Varna is a Black Sea resort city but also a place of ancient habitation and well-preserved history. These are three of its most interesting attractions:
- Varna Archaeological Museum. The area around Varna has been inhabited for at least 6,500 years and has been ruled by many famous civilizations. Arguably the best place to learn more about this heritage is the city’s Archaeological Museum which boasts a mighty collection of at least 100,000 artifacts.
- Aladzha Monastery. Also technically a part of the archaeological museum, but located about a 20-minute drive northeast of the city center, Aladzha is a cave monastery that was inhabited for at least 600 years. Eventually abandoned, its caverns have now been turned into one of the most interesting attractions in the Varna area.
- Golden Sands Nature Park. This small, but scenic preserved area is named after the neighboring beach resort of the same name (known as Zlatni Pjasci in Bulgarian). The nature park is home to a surprisingly diverse flora, as well as wildlife species such as northern goshawk and red deer. The drive from Varna takes only about 25 minutes.

Popular one-way rentals
- Burgas (136 km / 84 mi). Another Bulgarian city on the Black Sea Coast, Burgas is smaller than Varna, but its beaches are just as beautiful. Additionally, the city is near the Poda wetlands area (a home to many unique aquatic bird species) and a number of lakes.
- Sofia (435 km / 270 mi). Located in the northeastern part of the country, the capital of Bulgaria has a very different atmosphere than the coastal area of the country. Sofia is home to many interesting cultural venues like Earth and Man Museum and Museum of Socialist Art; the city is also near the Vitosha mountain massif, a winter sports hub.
- Slanchev Bryag / Sunny Beach (102 km / 63 mi). Located on the way between Varna and Burgas, the quaint Sunny Beach has a much more relaxed atmosphere than the two larger coastal cities. Tugged between the sea and the mountains, Sunny Beach is the perfect place for doing water sports or simply enjoying the sea and the sun.
- Plovdiv (365 km / 227 mi). The second city of Bulgaria is one of the oldest continuously inhabited settlements in Europe. Unsurprisingly, then, the city has countless fascinating historic sites and remains of the different empires that used to rule the area. In 2019, Plovdiv was the European Capital of Culture.
- Bucharest (279 km / 173 mi). The capital city of neighboring Romania, Bucharest has been rapidly growing in stature as a popular tourist destination. Mixing classical history with social heritage and contemporary vibes, the city is a hub of architecture and arts. To go from Bulgaria to Romania, you’ll have to cross the international border, so ask your rental car provider in advance if they permit it.
- Bansko (514 km / 319 mi). Located in the Pirin mountains, the town of Bansko has the average elevation of 1,200 m (3,900 ft). Bansko is a great hub of winter sports in the summer months and an amazing nature area for hiking and discovering in the summer months.
