Just 5 kilometers north of Varna is the Euxinograd Palace which was built as a royal summer residence in 1882. The palace and its wonderfully kept formal gardens resemble a French chateau. It is set in beautiful wooded parkland which reaches down to the fine sandy beach. On the edge of the estate the famous and deliciou Euxinograd wine, cognac and rakiya are bottled.
The resort of Golden Sands is the largest one on the Northern Black Sea coast. It is situated 18 kilometers north-east of Varna. Its four kilometre beach slopes gently into water which has no dangerous currents. There is a wealth of sporting and other facilities available, all very moderately priced.
