Popularly referred to as the “sea capital of Bulgaria,” Varna is a port city and seaside resort on Bulgaria’s Black Sea. Its seaside resorts and beaches beckon holiday travelers, but its biggest claim to fame is the discovery of the oldest gold known to mankind. Buried more than 6,500 years ago, it was discovered accidentally over 50 years ago by an excavator at the city’s necropolis. So far, around 3,000 gold artifacts have been discovered. You can see many of them at the Varna Archaeological Museum as well as the National Historical Museum in Sofia.
