About Varna

This year marks 115 years since the inauguration of the modern Port of Varna. Port of Varna EAD is a state-owned port operator of Varna East (Passenger Terminal) and Varna West port terminals. Both terminals are universal and are leaders in the handling of containers and grain. The charm of Varna stems from 7 ancient and modern cultures. The oldest golden treasure in human history was produced in Varna 4000 years BC. To see it in the Museum of Archeology or to visit other important sights of the city, a small walk starting from the Passenger Terminal, past the beautiful statue of “Dragons in Love” is enough.
Once in the pedestrian center of the city, you can choose whether to visit the cathedral with the golden domes, or to visit the Roman Thermae – the largest public ancient building ever discovered in Bulgaria, or another museum. Or from the very start you can walk along the promenade or enter the deep shadows of the “Sea Garden” all the way to its northern end, where in the Dolphinarium you can watch a show, swim with the dolphins or get a kiss from a seal.
You can enjoy the summer cultural events, and if you happen to meet the dawn on July 1, come to the breakwater to attend the traditional for Bulgaria hippie holiday “July Morning”. Varna is a starting point for four UNESCO sites, which will offer you close contact with antiquity, the Middle Ages, even some of the secrets of the Renaissance. And you will find the secrets of the heart in the queen’s Palace in Balchik.
The terminals can handle all types of cargo, including containers, general cargo, dry and liquid bulks. The port successfully handles heavy lifts and out-of-gauge traffic, including components of wind turbine generators, power transformers and project cargo. Among the priorities of the company is the preservation of environment by introducing new facilities and technologies. The Passenger Terminal is located at the north-east end of Varna East,  where it serves passenger and cruise ships, scientific vessels and pleasure boats.

Varna is one of the most visited cities in Europe by tourists who travel for pleasure and holidaymakers. Varna is the third largest city in Bulgaria (with population more than 347,840 people), with an area of 205 sq. km. Its situation on the Northern shore of the Black Sea, along with its richness in natural resources make it one of the famous resorts  in Europe and definitely the largest one in the Black Sea region. It also happens to be on the crossroads between Western Europe and the Middle East.
