My partner and I had a week in varna so we decided to check out the butterfly house. For starters the entomologist there was AMAZING. So friendly and knowledgeable. We were the only ones there so he took us through every species and explained every insect or animal that he had. He gave us so many facts and let us interact with everything. You can really tell how passionate he is about the insects and animals there and that made it so much better for us. We are both in our early 30s and had so much fun. This place is truly great for everyone of any age. Thank you again for everything!!

One of many Orthodox Churches/Cathedrals in Bulgaria. It’s a must to visit whenever you can any Churches/Cathedrals as these will give great imagination on how rich Bulgaria is with their history and architecture.

The collection here must be one of the best in the world for the pre Roman era. Everything is so beautifully curated and the layout fits the building. Follow the right route through the histories. I particularly liked the flint stone long blades. How were these made from the natural stone, amazing. Gold objects in burials are remarkable. Not to be missed on any visit to Varna. Super.

Somewhere in-between a large carnival and a small amusement park, this is a great place to let your kids run off some energy. 30 leva (15 Euro) was enough to keep three kids entertained for nearly two hours with a wide variety of rides in close proximity. The money you put on your admission card is good for a year so you can easily return later in the day or the next day for more play. It's also nicely shaded and a very short walk to the beach.
