Bulgarian Holiday in Varna20 October 2008  If you’ve been looking for a vacation, and are thinking of renting, consider Varna, Bulgaria. Varna, Bulgaria holiday rentals offer all the benefits of a hotel but with the added bonus of giving you a home away from home in a country you may never have visited. Varna is the largest city and seaside resort on the Bulgarian Black Sea Coast, and the third-largest city in Bulgaria overall. It boasts a rich cultural background, and is often called the marine capital or the summer capital of Bulgaria. It is foremost in many things, such as tourism, universities and academics, sea trade, and is home to the Bulgarian Navy and merchant marine.
Varna sits along the northeast coast of Bulgaria, and is among Europe’s oldest cities. There are many museums, art centres, and architectural wonders, such as the Dormition of the Theotokos Cathedral, which is the largest and most famous Bulgarian Orthodox cathedral. It symbolizes Varna in many respects, and is currently the residence of the bishopric of Varna. Varna is also rich in pop-culture, and its proximity to the ocean draws many young tourists from all over the world. There are art festivals, operas, and concert halls with all types of music. A few months at a Varna holiday rental is sure to give you plenty to do and see.
Other Varna landmarks that might interest travelers are the Varna Archaeological Museum, the Roman Baths, and the Battle of Varna Park Museum. The Sea Garden, which is the oldest and largest park in the city, contains an open-air theater, an aquarium, a zoo, a Museum of Natural History, and a children’s amusement park. The waterfront offers an entirely different scene and a refreshing change of pace after a long day of absorbing culture. The beaches are speckled with natural hot springs, and spas are abundant. Whether you want a holiday home in Varna itself or on the outskirts of town, there is lots for you to see.
Just outside the town are sights such as the medieval cave monastery, Euxinograd palace, wineries, and geological formations. Holiday rentals outside of town are often more affordable, though you lose some of the thrill of living in so ancient a city. Then again, if you’re looking for a peaceful place for relaxation where you can experience the culture of another civilization at your own pace, a Varna holiday home just outside of town could be right for you.
