What to expect
Tasty spots on the map of Varna
Over two and a half hours, you will walk through part of the Old Town, from Independence Square, crossing Cathedral Boulevard, Shipka Street, and the park. I will point out all the places that are worth including in the gastronomic 'itinerary'. You will learn about the most interesting coffee shops, the best street food and pastries, trusted establishments of local and European cuisine. Plus, original souvenir and perfume-cosmetic shops. Additionally, I will talk about the secret garden of a European restaurant, authentic stalls, and traditional Bulgarian taverns.
Historical notes along the way
In addition to the best places for lunch and dinner, I will show you several notable buildings of the city, tell you about the history of Varna and the interesting archaeological finds in Bulgaria. You will see the walls of ancient Odessos and a watchtower through the floor of a modern coffee shop. You will drink coffee at one of the best cafes in the city, opened by guys from Moscow, and taste hot donuts in Seaside Park. The tour will end on the seashore, where you can have dinner at one of the pleasant restaurants.
Organizational details
- It's worth booking the tour if you have at least a few more days in the city to try everything.
- The tour is on foot, and it will be interesting, delicious, and beautiful for children too, but part of the route involves stairs to the sea; if you bring a stroller, the descent can be cumbersome.
- Additional expenses: coffee, local pastries, and donuts - optional.
