Babinden falls on Fri 8 January 2027; Thu 21 January is the Day of Maternity Care. Why two dates, what 'polivane' is and how Varna marks it.

How to spend one unhurried day in Varna like a local: sunrise by the sea, banitsa breakfast, the market, a swim, the Sea Garden and a slow evening.

Rainy day in Varna? Go for the Archaeological Museum's gold, the Aquarium (€2), the Naval Museum, a film at Kino Arena or Aquahouse's warm mineral pools.

Varna stays open all winter: opera, theatre, museums and sea walks from November to March, while Golden Sands and most beach bars close. Highs about 7 °C.

Varna this weekend: Aladdin costumed concert at the Opera (Sat 17:00), CineLibri films at the FCC (19:00), dance films by donation, sun or rain plans.

What to do in Varna today: sunrise by the sea, banitsa, museums from €2, the Sea Garden, opera or theatre tonight, and rainy-day backups.
