Transfer from Varna Airport: Golden Sands, the centre, St. Constantine
Varna Airport (VAR) is the gateway to Bulgaria's northern coast: from here people head into the city itself, to Golden Sands and to St. Constantine and Helena. It's only 10 km from the centre, so the ride is short β the main thing is to decide in advance how you'll get there.
Where to and how long
A guide to distance and travel time:
- Varna centre β ~10 km, 15β20 minutes.
- St. Constantine and Helena β ~20 km, about 25 minutes.
- Golden Sands β ~28 km, 30β40 minutes.
- Sunny Beach and Nessebar β ~90 km, about 1.5 hours (if you're staying in the south but flying into Varna).
At night and in peak season the trip costs more; the taxi rank at the airport is the most expensive option.
