A visit to the Old Nessebar is a must when you visit Bulgaria. The ruins of all the old churches. Forty has there been, and the atmosphere is very special there. Go see it for yourself. You wont regret it if you like history.

In Nessebar is nothing to dislike. The little old town is realy charming; true, there are many boutiques and restaurants, but without spoiling the old town atmosphere or damage the old buildings.

Old Nessebar is a great place to wander around cobbled streets and view old churches and buildings. It is a UNESCO site and has many wonderful shops and restaurants dotted amongst the old buildings. The only downside is you will pay tourist prices compared to new town prices.

Worth a visit this beautiful city situated on a small islet. An old town with cobbled streets and wooden houses reminiscent of old fishermen's houses from Holland. Many souvenir shops. Terraces on the beach from where you can admire the stunning views. Very beautiful!

Nessabar was different to any holiday i'v had before, it was an aladin's cave full of little winding streets full of sovenier shops, great restuarants, nice quaint hotels, old ruin's. It was a good day and night place to be.

Old Nessebar is a peninsula. It difficult to explain but it gives some sort of magic to the experience I have visiting it. From the main land it have kind of gate - like a portal to ancient world. One step into this gate and you made a time travel. Beautiful tiny streets each house have it's own decoration. Interesting... More

Old Town is a beautiful place, with excellent restaurants, excellent swimming spots and excellent views and the best ice cream parlour on the planet. New Town is excellent for shopping and eating, especially the cake shops.
