Best Varna Hostels with a Rooftop Bar

Two Varna hostels run a real rooftop or terrace bar in the central core: Hostel Musala (1900s landmark with rooftop event space across from the Cathedral) and Heart of the city Hostel (modern terrace one block off Knyaz Boris with a 24/7 self-serve drinks machine on the ground floor as a backup). Pick by your night-out style — landmark events or modern self-serve.

§ 01 — Traveler's take
“Hostel Musala reviewers cite the historic-building rooftop as a memorable feature; the events get specific name-checks for live music and themed dinners. Heart of the city reviewers focus on the practical 24/7 access of the self-serve drinks machine and the modern terrace fittings. Both hostels see the rooftop as a feature their guests come back for.”

§ 03 — Tips

Tips for Choosing a Hostel with Rooftop Bar in Varna

Tip Nº 01

Hostel Musala's rooftop events run mostly Tuesday and Friday in season — themed dinners, live music. Free entry for guests, small charge for non-guests when applicable.

Tip Nº 02

Heart of the city's self-serve drinks machine takes 1 and 2 BGN coins/notes — bring change. Bulgarian beer is around 2-3 BGN, cheaper than the corner shop and 24/7 available.

Tip Nº 03

Sunset times: 19:30 in late April, 20:50 in late June, 19:30 in late September. Both rooftops face inland (no direct sea view) — for sunset, walk seven minutes to the Sea Garden gates instead.

Tip Nº 04

Smoking allowed on Hostel Musala's rooftop; Heart of the city's terrace is non-smoking but the street outside has designated areas.
