I made those letters VARNA at 9:48 First we made the same for PLOVDIV 2019 as then PLOVDIV was the euro capital of culture, but then Varna municipality also ordered same for their city. Happy to see they are still standing :-)
I m Italian,i was in Bulgaria,the only One Place outside Italy where you can have good coffe Is probably the mains city of Bulgaria but..mis far from the Italian taste.Belive me
Thats my country!!! The Dolphins you showed i was there every summer wen i was there. The sea is just the best. Thank you for visiting my beautiful home country ❤
Varna is amazing! There’s a panoramic place on the other side of the bridge where you can observe the whole city. Also you could visit the Alaja monestry (a monestry into caves high on a …. Rock wall?) also the pobiti kamyni- that’s like a mini desert with huge rocks not human made, also the palace in Evksinograd also the historical museum with the oldest gold in the whole world. Could have a coffee on the top of Black Sea hotel (there is a bar on top of the building)
@@JordanandEmily It is no coincidence that Varna is called the maritime capital of Bulgaria. As a native of Varna, I like it more during the rest of the year when it is calm. Hemingway said that everything far from the sea is province and got it damn right. Exchanging a kidney for a little house here by the beach where I can paint and write till the end of eternity.
Hi! I'm from Varna. I am very glad that you visited this amazing city and that you enjoyed it. However, I think if you really want to experience this seaside city, you should come in the summer and stay at least a few days. I think that you will be really impressed and you will have the opportunity to enter the daily life of the people of Varna. Thank you for this super interesting vlog!🤍💚❤
Thanks so much for watching! We reeealllly want to go back to Varna and really all of bukgaria just to experience the different seasons! We could see how it would change so much for winter to summer!
Where is all the people in Varna? Why do they disappear until summer? Other seaside cities i've been to are packed even during the off season with locals.
I think I’ve caught up now. When we were in Canada & Alaska, we noticed the seagulls there were huge too, they also had these there birds that looked like magpies but they had really long tails, very strange. Nice place, great park. Don’t worry about what the other comments say about the coffee vending machines, if you liked it that’s the main thing. Stay safe, miss you both, love you, mum.xx ❤️🤪❤️
@@JordanandEmilyyou walked on the upper path into the sea garden. Downhill has another path and literally there is like bar, bar, bar, restaurant, bar, restaurant, coffee shop xd right on the beach
@@JordanandEmilywhen you guys said the restaurants were expensive, how expensive were they exactly? I'm currently in Burgas dining with family of 6 and it usually boils down to about a 100 lev each time, for reference. I'm preparing for a visit to Varna next year with a bigger party and can't imagine cooking in such a place 😊
@@wrednuch ooooo we can't remember exact prices (we keep much better track these days!) but we do remember feeling like they were way more than they should be!
You guys are so adorable. 3:00 tip: 10 meters from that coffe machine is a cigar and snack shop that can brew you a espresso with real milk for about double the price, milk in street machines is powder milk, good enough for for the price.
The Dolphinarium is where you can watch a show with trained dolphins🐬 I've walked down the Varna Garden path many times. The Navy museum is also a neat site within it, and if you go all the end to what is called the 'athlete' side, the view below looks like a Californian beach with palm trees.
@@JordanandEmily I'd recommend the Rhodope Mountains (Pamporovo) - there are some very mystical places, and great shots for pics/videos. Snezhanka peak has a tower and it's at 2k meters altitude. You can enjoy a 360 view, and it's absolutely gorgeous. Rezovo is another interesting place, as you can see the Turkish border just outside. And Plovdiv - it has a lot of history, and a very interesting neighborhood called "Kapana" (its literal translation is "The Trap" lol) but there are a lot of bars on the streets, restaurants, it's made for young people. And there's a small outdoor marketplace for handmade stuff.
5:18 - 5:24 lol, did you see the text on the side of the coffee vending machines? 🤣 Btw, I learned this coffee brand also in Bulgaria few years ago, very nice blend. They sell here only mixes with chilli (😯), but it taste amazing.
@@JordanandEmily You handled your presentation very well. Skipping the roman thermae was a good choice for someone with limited time. Seagulls are super annoying and do strike your hands or head if you are eating something trying to make you drop it, especially a Doner Kebab.
Too bad you guys are on a pretty low budget, as it seems. There are some really good restaurants at the sea garden, but its still nice to look around, I guess. Also, Varna in summer is very different, so you should visit again :D
3:25 have you ever heard about MILK POWDER ???...that's used in ALL coffee machines in the world !! LOL....there are NO coffee machine in the world that use's "fresh" milk 😊
Give it a go ! I’ve been living in UK last 6 years, before that in USA, moved back to Bulgaria in particular Varna and I’m just rediscover my own country xd I love it
nk you i will remember this because i go to wrok for a belgium bank and first 2 weeks i stay in a hotel after that someone will help me to get a appartment its aound 400 to 500 euros right?
a third of the video buying a coffee from a vending machine and two thirds walking through the park off season not the best review of the city i've seen, but then again not the worst one, god bless your souls
You see people with a horsecar they are gipsys not bulgarian...only very high in the mountains they use donkeys and horses to move goods cause there is no road
@@JordanandEmily The so called "Varna" has been devided for decades. Currently, it consists of Bulgaria, Swampland, Retropolis and Asparuhovo. You showed mostly Swampland and Retropolis.
Yeah, not correct because of the highway connecting Burgas with the transeuro highways. Which I believe was quite the opposite a while ago. Hopefully this is about to get soon changed as they get the other highway finished. It is crucial for the whole Nothern part of Bulgaria + it will get the burgases a little bit sweaty because of the competition. :) I said it only with warm feelings, guys!
Actually as a citizen of Varna i want to say , that you should be careful exploring the gympsiest part of the city , there are many drug addicted dangerous and criminal people ! And keep your pocket closed with your hand in it cause, it takes only one blink and your wallet is gone ! Thanks for the reading !
