Varna

I spent two months in Varna (mid-September to mid-November) and loved it! Mild weather, very affordable, great expats community and a lot of things going on. Next time, I would like to visit it in the spring!

From July to September one of the best Citys in Europe for me.

I spent 11 days here. I like it a lot. Beaches, affordable, interesting architecture. Cool place and I could spend a summer here easily if I had a friend. Though, if you're single it wouldn't be hard to make one, as people here are amazing looking.

I like the park a lot, and it has some interesting museums. Not a big hipster scene if that's your thing. More tourists, mostly from Bulgaria, Russia and Turkey.

Nightlife is... okay. Mostly mafia and gypsy bars. But I do love this one bar called Cubo, on the beach. Great place. Very reasonable prices. Cheap actually.
Nice place that needs more hype.

I don't like that there's no ride hailing apps, and Google maps doesn't tell bus schedules. So transportation sucks. But most stuff is walking distance or a short bus ride, once you figure it out.

The data on Varna here is hilarious. Nomad costs 1.800 $? When the local live on 400$? The rent cost here 300 $ for a good apartment in the center. Then add 10 $ a day for food. You'll end up at 600-700 $. Add additional expenses for partying.
The only downside is the cold weather in january and february. Other than that it's a pretty great place. Better than Sofia, any day.

Varna is a nice city, specially during spring and summer, great beaches and nightlife on high season
