We took a one-day trip from Burgas (35kms) and visited this nice town, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage list. I agree, because it’s a picturesque town located on an island. It’s about 850m long and 350m wide. The Old Town consists of 100 traditional stone and wooden houses. They were built in 18-19th century. We were strolling in the narrow, cobbled streets and saw nice buildings, many shops and cafes. It’s a must-see site in Bulgaria.

This place is stunning! Travelled with my partner and our 3yo daughter. We were staying in Sunny Beach which was perfect for my daughter, but this area Is much nicer for adults who want a more peaceful trip. We had lovely food, people friendly, some lovely shops and local artwork selling in the streets. Easy to get to from sunny beach by taxi only 30lev. Highly recommend at least a day trip here for anyone staying in Sunny Beach. We didn't have a tour but if we were visiting as a couple we would. So much history in this small area, very interesting

We stopped in this charming old town on our way from Varna to Burgas. Nesebar is a really nice town with lots of shops and cafes. And I noticed that toilets (toilets) are also very important in this town, as there were many signs indicating this.

Worth a visit. It's clean and pleasant with places of interest all within a small peninsular. Plenty of little cafe bars or restaurants to chose from and some shaded quaint streets to explore. In my humble opinion, it's spoiled a bit by some of the shops but otherwise interesting stone/wooden upper buildings and views.

Nessebar oli väga ilus oma ehtsa arhitektuuri poolest ning tänavad olid väga lahedad oma kivisillutisega. Mulle meeldis, et olid mõned pingid, kus sai istuda ja lihtsalt puhata. Selliseid võiks rohkem olla. Vaade merele oli uskumatult ilus. Minu jaoks oli seal natuke liiga palju poekesi ja restorane, mis varjutasid selle linna ilu. Oleksin oodanud sealt rohkem autentset kaupa, kuid palju oli turisti pudi-padi, mida leidus ka Sunny Beachil. Nad võiks müüa natuke rohkem sellele kohale omast käsitööd.

We really enjoyed Nessebar old town. Ideal for a walk as the weather cools down during late afternoon/early evening. Some lovely places to eat , we highly recommend Robinsons- not expensive, great food with a great sea view. Some great shops too for sovereigns.

Lovely area, lots of history in the relics of buildings. Narrow streets that offer some shade but fab photos. Lots of little shops and bars. Friendly locals. Costs 30 lev in a taxi from Sunny Beach each way.

We stayed overnight here as part of a tour around Bulgaria. Compared to Sozopol, it is substantially bigger with a more established tourist infrastructure, but it is arguably more attractive. There are several Byzantine chuches to see, most are either ruins or museums but there are offers that allow discounted entry depending on how many you wish to see. There is a good bronze relief that shows the position of all 16 locations at the entry to the old town. Following these allows you to see the more untouched part of Nessebar away from tourist places. There are a remarkable number of wooden houses in these areas, far more in fact than in Sozopol. There is also a promenade walk you can take around the edge of town but as we were only here for an overnight stay, we did not have time to do this.

Nesebar Old Town is an absolute gem that exceeded all expectations! Steeped in rich history and charm, every corner of this UNESCO World Heritage site tells a story. The cobblestone streets, ancient ruins, and beautiful wooden houses create an enchanting atmosphere that feels like stepping back in time. The blend of Byzantine, Roman, and medieval architecture is stunning, and the seaside views are breathtaking. From exploring the ancient churches to enjoying delicious seafood at cozy restaurants, there’s something magical about every moment spent here. If you love history, culture, and beautiful scenery, Nesebar Old Town is a must-visit destination. Five stars all the way!
