From the center, you can reach the popular beach resorts Sunny Beach and Nessebar in about two hours to the south along Route E87, while Albena and Balchik are only 30 to 45 minutes to the north. If you want to explore nature, drive west toward the Provadiya Plateau and the fascinating limestone caves at Aladzha Monastery, which is only a few miles from the city.

Summer is long and warm with temperatures around 30 degrees Celsius, making June through September ideal for combining city experiences in Varna with day trips along the Bulgarian Riviera.
