VAR Airport Overview
To help you plan your layover or overnight sleepover, here is a quick run-down about what to expect during your time at Varna Airport.
What to Expect
Varna Airport (code: VAR) has one main terminal, Terminal 2, which opened in 2013. You’ll find a few shops, including duty-free, and eateries, both landside and airside. Some shops are open 24 hours during the summer season. Free WiFi helps pass the time. Economy class passengers can pay to enter an airport lounge.
Sleeping in Varna Airport
Travellers have spent the night here, but reviews are mixed. Look around for long, armrest-free benches. Other seating is hard and uncomfortable, so consider a sleeping bag or travel mat for the floor. Air conditioning can be downright frigid. For uninterrupted sleep, nearby hotels offer shuttle service upon request. See the Airport Hotels section below for locations.

Security & Safety
Sleeping in any airport can include a certain level of risk, especially when travelling alone. It’s important to take certain precautions to ensure your safety and the security of your valuables. Here are a few tips:
- Safety First. It’s a good idea to know where the security office is located and look for video cameras where you plan to sleep. You can also ask the security personnel for advice on the safest places to spend the night.
- Don’t Seclude Yourself. If you’re travelling alone, we recommend you stay near other travellers or close to security. This will help you feel more secure and deter potential thieves.
- Hide Your Valuables. It’s also important to hide your valuables. Don’t leave them out in plain view, as this could make you a target for theft. Additionally, if you are a deep sleeper, you may want to padlock your bag to something or sleep with your bag up against a wall to make it harder for someone to access zippers and pockets. We have received reports of sleepers who woke up without their phones and laptop bags. The travellers were left with just their headphones and laptop bag strap.
- Stay Alert. It’s best to stay alert and awake if you feel unsafe or uncomfortable. Drink coffee or other caffeinated beverages to help you stay awake, and remember that you can always catch up on sleep during your flight. These simple precautions can help you enjoy a safe night at the airport.
