If you're driving to or from Varna, plan to stop about 2 mi/3 km south of the city of Preslav to see ruins from the first Bulgarian kingdom (sculptures, columns and friezes), which are now a National Archaeological Reserve. Preslav is about 65 mi/110 km west of Varna.
Nearby to Preslav is a superb archaeological museum, Veliki Preslav (http://en.museum-velikipreslav.com).
