巴尔奇克宫殿与植物园

The Botanical garden is wonderful,however the palace is not!In fact,it is not even a palace but summer residence,quite small and almost empty.

The Botanical Gardens and the Palace of Queen Mary are definitely worth a visit and make sure you spare at least half a day. Weel maintained and beautifully manicured gardens, a lot of cacti and other plants, some of them exotic. The palace itself, including the alleys are also very beautiful and attractive, arranged on a terraced terrain. Cute streamlets and waterfall. There is wine testing and a small restaurant. Tickets are sold separately for the gardens and for the palace.

Great palace, but even great story, If you have the posibility to take the tour with a guide it would be great, if not it's a nice walk. The garden it's pretty big and you can admire a nice view of the sea. There is a fee for the entrance.

It's worth coming here for the day, away from the heady, drink-fuelled atmosphere of sunny beach. It's nice and calm, and the garden complex takes in a variety of plants on different levels. Split by a waterfall, water features permeate the area. Here you can buy rose oil product, and have a decent lunch in one of the cafes.The view is wonderful, and in the evening, the prevailing winds go through the wind chimes. Nice!

The waterfalls and surrounding plantations were very relaxing.There was nothing that I did not like.

The gardens and summer palace of queen Mary of Romania are beautiful--right along the ocean with many interesting pavilions, fountains, waterfall, gardens. Plus she has a very interesting story.

This place is difenitly awesome, I had so much fun there! But please be aware to the tickets you buy.We were walking down to garden and a woman stopped us, she said we have to buy tickets to a castle, Okay we bought it. Ten meters after, was the entry, we should him the tickets and he said you can't go in using them. We asked the woman sitting in the other window and she said you should buy another tickets to the whole garden -.-My parents became very mad and wanted to get the castle tickets back, but she didn't let them. Abviously, we've been stolen. We bought 2 tickets! And just so you know we didn't see any castle there !! I don't like to be cheated .. please be aware so they don't miss with you too.

We had rather a strange experience here which was a shame and has stopped me giving it 5 stars.We walked down the approach to the entrance and came to the paying booth where the sign (see Photo) says if you want to see only the gardens you only need one ticket. As we only wanted the gardens we bought ticket and entered by the entrance 2 metres away. 10 metres later we were stopped by a security guard who said we must buy a ticket for the palace. We argued somewhat heatedly in both English and Russian that the sign stated that as we didn't want to visit the palace we didn't need to buy the ticket. The guard pointed to a sign(see 2nd photo) that totally contradicted the first sign. Under protest we bought second ticket and went in. The cost really was neither here nor there being 7 Levs to gardens, 5 Levs to palace just the principle and I don't like being lied to.When making further enquiries at first cash desk on exit we discovered there is an alternative entrance to the gardens on the left as you approach which we missed, you can pay and you don't have to pay again for entrance to the palace. Very confusing and why aren't you told this when you pay at second gate.That experience was such a shame as the gardens are really beautiful, the story of the palace you read inside is interesting but gardens are the real star.Really can't see why the 2 organisations that run the place can't come to a sensible arrangement where they have one cash desk for both places and even just charge 12 Levs for both, it is after all worth the price.

Go there every time when i visit my home town Dobrich. ..its so peaceful,its a walk that u never want to end

Too crowded for my taste, however a very nice place to wander. Low season may be a better choise if you want to have the time and the atmosphere to enjoy the place entirely.

We visited the park two times once in 2012 and now september 2014. It's an amazing park With great history. The park is located in a hill and I can realy think what a strugle it must have been building it. It's a wery large colection of Cactus and very beautiful Construction. The summer residens is also worth a visit.It's great just sitt down and maybe taste some great Bulgarian wine.If you traveling with children and trolly or have som legg isues it can be some problem because there are many stairs.I realy like this park and hope to come back later.

It was a very beautiful park, an enjoyable wine tasting in Queens Wine cellar and a large variety of different plants

If you stay in Albena, visit Botanical gardens. You will see many interesting plants, royal palace and buy good Bulgarian vine which will be brought for your bus.

What a surprise this was! So much to see too hours to walk around and see the beautiful flowers and plants and the cliff views, wow!

Visiting the Castle from Balchik was beautiful. I saw it in 2011 for the first time and since then I am back every summer. A lot of history in a beautiful place. The people are polite and you have good parking all over the city. The Castle is amazing! A piece of art. The gardens and the waterfall are beautiful. They take very good care of it, people working in the gardens, cleaning, very polite employees at the winery too, lots of wine and you find a lot of things to buy such as wine bottles, juice, cards or pottery. Very pleasant experience every time!
