The beaches along the Black Sea coast are a major highlight, with miles of golden sand and crystal-clear waters that are perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and playing. The city is also surrounded by beautiful parks and gardens, which are ideal for picnicking, relaxing, and enjoying the warm summer breeze.

In the evenings, the streets come alive with street performers, live music, and local festivals, adding to the city’s lively atmosphere. There’s also a great selection of restaurants and cafes serving up delicious traditional Bulgarian dishes and refreshing drinks.
