Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    A good 10km circuit is available by walking along the promenade as far as hidden beach and taking the return journey through the park. There are plenty of seating areas along the way as well as numerous cafes. Some lovely fountains and a huge stature dedicated to Bulgaria’s war heroes in the centre of the park. Lots of play areas for children. Plenty of people out promenading.

    Although impressive from the outside, the interior is just sumptuous with beautiful frescoes on every wall and ceiling making a glorious impression. Of all the churches we visited in our tour of Bulgaria, this had the most impact on us even though it does not have the size and scale of some in Sofia. Photos can be taken provided it is done respectfully and donations are appreciated for use of camera.

    Worth to see. When we were there at the end of October there was no ticket charge. Stone formations are incredible. Such a different climate condition at that small area. Like you came to dessert. Near Pobiti Pjasci is winery.

    Very nice collection of pre-neolithic, Thracian, Scythian preserved pieces as well as from the Greek and Roman period. I would say this is one of the most important places for history fans in Varna

    If you like butterflies, this is a good place to see them. (They have some other animals to see too.) The butterflies fly around you and you are free to photograph them. The owner explains the other exotic animals he keeps - a real enthusiast. There's a small entry fee.

    Amazing museum inside huge and popular shopping mall. Exceptionally rich collection of the past. Cars, toys, symbols, home stuff. You get the atmosphere of the mid-20th century

    It was fine, however not worthy the price we paid. Dolphins are amazing. I think they have Very small space for swimming. The lady that took us swimming with dolphins was not very nice.

    Between the three big malls in Varna, in my opinion this mall is the biggest and best one. There are many brands there and the mall is nice

    This tour was fantastic! Such a unique little place and the tour itself was informative and very interesting. The wine tasting was a really enjoyable experience and both Stefan and his Mum were delightful and really happy to answer any questions we had! We would most definitely recommend this tour!

    A nice quiet botanical garden or park to wander around in. I spotted numerous native butterflies here and even a couple of tortoise. It has shade in hot weather so it is popular with some locals. A relaxed place.
