Varna
Bulgaria's sea capital — Black Sea beaches, Sea Garden promenade, summer all summer.
Easy-going seaside city with a thriving summer scene, year-round mild climate and very international BPO crowd. Compact, walkable and right on the Black Sea.
Multilingual BPO, IT outsourcing and shipping hubs around the Sea Garden and Business Park Varna. Strong German, Russian, French and English-speaking communities.
City buses and trolleybuses cover everything you need; a monthly pass is around €25. The city is small enough to walk and very flat for cycling along the seafront.
Beach bars at Cubo and Horizont, summer mega-clubs in Golden Sands and Sunny Day, live music in the Sea Garden, and an excellent craft beer scene at PMG and Tendo.
Staria Chinar for traditional Bulgarian, Mr Baba for the city's best mussels, Godzilla for Asian fusion, and dozens of seafood places along the marina serving €10 fresh fish dinners.
Swim and sunbathe along the Sea Garden, sail and windsurf at Asparuhovo, hike in Golden Sands Nature Park, football at Cherno More, and weekend ferries up the Bulgarian coast.
