Nesebar is an ancient city on the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria, located in Nesebar municipality, Bourgas Province.

Nesebar has on several occasions found itself on the frontier of a threatened empire, and as such it is a town with a rich history. The ancient part of the town is situated on a peninsula connected to the mainland by a man-made isthmus, and it bears evidence of occupation by a variety of different civilizations over the course of its existence. Its abundance of historic buildings prompted UNESCO to inscribe Nesebar on its list of World Heritage Sites in 1983. According to legends, the churches of Nesebar were no less than 41, which, when compared to the small population of the town, make the latter one of the world's settlements with the highest number of churches per capita.

In modern times, Nesebar is a major tourist attraction. Its beach is considered to be one of the finest along the Black Sea coast due to a large sandy strip, covered with clean golden sand.
