The wide, pedestrianised Slivnica Boulevard is one of the town's most important thoroughfares. Indeed, it is here that Varna really looks like a seaside resort. It is a very sought-after place on account of the numerous fashionable cafés (and also the few private mansions concealed by the greenery of their gardens) lining it. It leads to the maritime garden and to the sea, accessible via a square overlooking Primorski Boulevard, bordered by the Festival Palace and Odesos Hotel.
