If you are a fan of history you should definitely visit the Retro Museum in Varna. It is a unique establishment for the Varna region and Bulgaria. It was opened on the 1st of May 2015. The exhibits cover a very specific era in Bulgarian history when the communist party was ruling the state in the period after World War II – 1944-1989.

There is a collection of wax figures of famous personalities during that period such as Cuban leader Fidel Castro, Bulgarian president Todor Zhivkov, singers and entertainers like Todor Kolev, Georgi Partsalec, Emil Dimitrov and others. An array of over 50 cars from the eastern block such as “Lada”, ”Volga”, “Moskvich”, “Wartburg”. “Trabant”, etc. The official car of the Politburo of the Communist Party, the “Chaika GAZ-13” is also on display as the crown jewel of luxury automobiles from that era.
