Varna’s Private Evening Guided Tours and History Lessons

Varna City a hidden treasure of the Balkans

Join Christian in discovering Varna's charm.

Christian Oblakov was born on the March 15, 1989 in Varna. From 2003 until 2008, he pursued his studies in the “History and Civilization” program at “K. Preslavsky”. During this era, his fascination with the history of his hometown grew significantly. Between 2008 to 2013, he pursued a law degree at Chernorizets Hrabar University of Applied Sciences. 

Simultaneously, he continued to accumulate recollections and information pertaining to the historical background of Varna. Starting in 2008, he started the process of organising and structuring this information and authored and released the book titled “The Aristocrat Architect Dabko Dabkov”. Moving on he proceeded to read the following books: “Architect Stefan Venedikt Popov”, “The Secessionist Engineer and the Rational Architect”, “The Noble Architect”, “Varna of Arch. Dabko Dabkov”, and “The Czech Master of Secession”.  He quotes, “Attempting to understand and recount the history of Varna during a single lifetime is an insufficient amount of time, but this should not deter one from making the effort.”

Christian and his colleagues provide a range of exclusive guided tours of the city and may be observed strolling around the streets on warm evenings, admiring the magnificent architecture.
