Culture

The rich cultural and historical heritage and the numerous significant international, national and regional events from all art genres make Nessebar a magnetic cultural center, where the unique symbiosis of past and present enchants the citizens and thousands of multilingual guests of the town.

Traditions

All cultural events are combined under the heading of Nessebar Panorama. Within the Panorama, outside the festivals and celebrations, the best Bulgarian performers and singers visit Nessebar, and Nessebar artists organize exhibitions in the new art gallery twice a month.

St Vlas – or Sveti Vlas, to give it its full name – is wedged between the Black Sea and the Balkan Mountains at the northern tip of Bourgas Bay. Its laid-back vibe and sandy beaches have made it a firm favourite with families, who prefer the quiet atmosphere to the town’s lively neighbour, Sunny Beach. The town dates back to the 2nd century, but these days it's modern through and through. The smart marina is a hangout for the yacht set, and has a generous haul of restaurants and bars. You’ve got a clutch of golden sandy beaches, too. Curving south around the bay, you’ll hit Sunny Beach and then Nessebar. The former is the place for full-on partying, with tons of bars, clubs and restaurants. Nessebar, on the other hand, is all about history, cramming Roman and Greek ruins, 40-odd churches and traditional wooden houses into its UNESCO-stamped old town.
