- Varna a Truly Extraordinary Place in Bulgaria
Join me on this journey to Varna, the most extraordinary city in Bulgaria.
Let's stroll through the magnificent Sea Garden on Varna and delve into the City's communist past.
Down by the sea, we see how the locals enjoy the beach bars in the cold and create a summer vibe in the autumn.
This city is so amazing, we meet the locals as well as an extraordinary skateboarding dog. Only in Varna!!!
With several universities in this city, the streets are always vibrant with an abundance of elegant women, truly a sight for sore eyes.
If you enjoy adventure videos from the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, then grab your vodka, some zakuskas and join me as we explore the Truly extraordinary city of Varna in Bulgaria.

Amazing video, I am a black woman living in Bulgaria. Varna is a beautiful city I absolutely love varna
that is really nice comment thank you for loving varna ❤
Hey Justin. I'm visiting my home town whilst living in London through your videos. Thank you for making them. The monument in the Sea Garden is called "The Pantheon". It's not a monument of the Bulgarian-Russian friendship, rather It is an anti-nazi monument. It is dedicated to the fighters who died in between 1923 and 1944, as part of the resistance movement. The strange chimney sweeper you met in the centre comes from an old traditional superstitious belief - if you touch one of them, it somehow destines you to have good luck.
Hi Kiril,
FIrst of all thank you so much for the comment, when the local people of the places I visit enjoy my content, then I fell like I produced a good Video.
Also getting clarity on why that guy came up to me is superb... I was still wondering what that was all about!
Thank you so much for watching, and your input.
All the best mate.
I’m form Bulgaria but I live in Northern Ireland I love your videos 👍
thanks for sharing very interesting,keep the journey going.
I always pet the cat on 12:47 when I go around Averi beers. I see you've encountered her as well hahah The chimney-sweeper touches you for luck and u ought to give him some money according to the superstition, so basically that is what it was all about the thing you got confused :) I am so happy you've captured such a nice vibe of my city. Cheers
2:45 Аn interesting fact is that the Scots have the bagpipes from the Bulgarians. during the Roman Empire, many Thracians served as mercenaries in the legions. Of course they bring the traditional instrument with them and play it and have fun. Many of them like Scotland, marry and stay there after their service. This is a small part of the forbidden history of the Bulgarians.
Thank you for sharing that with us
09:30 i know this dog from tiktok,13:10 I think that in every Bulgarian city there was a store named Valentina for clothes and shoes,14:09 duners became very popular in Bulgaria 4-5 years ago,15:00 those birds stole the meatballs from the pan while they were frying lol
Varna Bulgaria 🇧🇬 The best!!!
Well said!
Nice town indeed thanks 4 the video
Welcome mate.
I love Varna, crazy and great little town!
Great video!! Love the dog on the skateboard and the beach looks amazing.
Hey Julia,
That dog was something else, I tried to even buy it, but the owner would not consider it.
Nothing more beautiful that a nice beach👋👌
I have lived in Varna and now living in Balchik, on how I miss Varna, no excuses needed to go visiting.
Great video mate 👍 That skateboarding dog was legendary! It looks really chill there. Great place to let loose.
Hi Dave and thank you for watching.
It is an amazing place and great value...
If you ever want to place to chill relax and do it at an amazing price Varna is definitely the place
Hey, Justin! Thank you so much for sharing this experience with us. The guy in black is called "kominochistach" (коминочистач) which is basically a person who cleans your chimney. We think it is a symbol of good luck when they touch you. Be blessed!
Hello. The fruit you did not like is called persimmon in English.It needs to stay one week until it gets soft, ripe, and sweet. You ate it not ripe.Yack.The allеy with astronauts monuments, Each of them had visited Varna and planted a pine tree, which is behind the monument.
Hi Carl, and thank you for this amazing information about the visit to the monument.
That fruit should come with instructions on how to eat it, because that was extremely unpleasant.
Will be going back to Varna next week and will be sure to visit👍👌
Thank you for watching and commenting
Love that French bull dog. He ran up to that guy as if to say, "Excuse me sir...if you're not riding that board, may I?"
It's lovely to see my hometown through the perspective of a foreigner - it feels so much different and absolutely amazing!
Thanks so much my friend... that means a lot! I'm really glad you enjoyed 👍👌
i love this city
I think you have to show Nessebar to the world. My favourite seaside town as a Bulgarian
Fascinating video!
To make a fascinating video you need to be in a fascinating place, and I can truly say that Varna is.
Thank you for watching Tom👍👌
Another great video!
Thank you mate
At 2:20 where the sun clock is(behind the bag piper) there used to be a Statue of Stalin Back in the 50s when the city was called "Stalin" perhaps even until 1989 until the regime changed but thought I would let you know as it is something I myself have found out recently
Hi Justin, the fruit you had is a Japanese Persimmon - it's not meant to be eaten while firm like that. You have to leave it and have it rippen over time until it becomes soft.
That's true , we call it "heaven apple".
The guy at 8:25 is supposed to be a chimney sweeper, and it's considered good luck if you touch one.
Super Cool info.
Will look out for him next time in Varna
@@J.E.E There is a superstition in BG that its a good luck if you touch chimney cleaner,but this one is fake to collect money from people.Real chimney cleaners are at work,not wandering around.
It was really lovely to be featured in your video, thanks.
Nice video 👍
Hi mate.
Regarding the man who kissed your hand. We have a "thing" in BG called a chimenny cleaner. And it's a sigh of a good luck to touch one, or to shake a hand of this person.
So, my friend. You, just got super charged with good luck.
Cheers!
Keep those videos rolling.
All the best.
I'm enjoying the way you present my homeland, enjoy your stay, you should come to shady sofia :D
Thank you for watching and commenting my friend! I'm glad you enjoyed the video 👍👌
They are a pest those sea-gulls, I could see they make a mess everywhere.. 😕
I'd like to see what they do with seafood restaurants/eateries customers along the sea.. 😅
TA for sharing.. 🙏👍
Thank you mate.
The Varna ones especially!
Aggressive as hell🤣
14:04
Guy in black: Why is this guy filming us, tell him not to film us.
Cashier: He is not. The camera is off.
Thanks for translating... I didn't even know they were talking about me😂
that fruit was Diospyros kaki , know in BG as "райска ябълка" :)
Thanks Justin, great video, some interesting characters ! Seems to be a relaxed attitude to Covid , are there many restrictions in place ?
Hi Paul,
It is super relaxed in general... Not just for covid!!!
EU law prohibits smoking in bars and restaurants, but I think Bulgaria didn't get that memo😜
They did start to implement some restrictions while I was there, but nothing like Riga.
I came back to Riga and found a complete lockdown and curfew after 8pm.
It is what makes travelling so amazing👌👍
I understand what they say😯
The Bulgarian bagpipes sound more like the Northumberland pipes
Justin get a plastic fork next time with your kebab that's how we eat it without getting dirty 😁 thank your for promoting my city
Hello mate,
You are right, I probably have it to the seagulls out of frustration😜😜😜
Great city and will be visiting again in a couple of weeks so stay tuned
@@J.E.E niceee can't wait ohh and also that guy with the hat is chimney sweeper and there is tradition if a chimney sweeper touches you its a for good luck, and this tradition comes from your country here in bulgaria old folks like it cause its from the old times however he is probably doing this for money to make a living and he's not a real chimney sweeper but yeah 😁
Which websites do you recommend for buying property in Varna? Love your videos, detailed and are realistic day to day living in Varna, not staged like some seem.
Hi Greg... The best one by far is www.imot.bg but I think there is only a Bulgarian version.
Let me know if you manage with that, or I could help you out with it.
Thanks for watching 👌👍
@@J.E.E I've used that before for our business. Pretty good. I just thought maybe there was a good one for Varna only. No worries. Thanks. Great advice. Cheers. Greig
@@greigsanderson you can use indomio also but first visit the country dude
Scottish bagpipes Justin hands down...!!!
🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍 I have to agree
Thanks for watching mate 👌👍
🤍💚❤️Бузлуджа is monument lika a big UFO
Was that baba Osman restaurant that the Turkish guy reference you to go
you have to peal the mandarin before you eat it :D
He was blessing you and may curse you if he touches you and you don't give him money
this fruit who gives you to eat is called PARADISE APPLE, personally I do not like it, but it is very good for health.. and this guy plays the bagpipes badly, write in youtube - 100 каба гайди - to hear real playing
This is golden apple next time wait for it to get soft peel it and than eat it. The fruit is amazing you just ate it wrong!
Scottish is Best🎉
I must agree👌👍
No, Bulgarian is die beste
