Getting from Varna Airport to your hotel
Varna Airport (VAR) is about 10 km west of Varna city centre and the main airport for the northern Black Sea coast. In summer it handles many charter flights to Golden Sands, Albena, St. Constantine and Helena and Balchik. City buses run into Varna, but with luggage most visitors prefer a taxi or a pre-booked transfer.

Varna Airport taxi or private transfer?
