The Galata panoramic viewpoint is located approximately 2 km from the city center. Varna. To reach it, you need to cross the Asparuhov Bridge to the other side of the Varna Bay. This is one of the few places where you can go and enjoy not only the beauty of the city but also escape the hustle and bustle of the big city. The view is one of the most beautiful in the city, and some consider it the best.

At any time of day, young and old residents gather here to enjoy the boundless beauty of this seaside town. For a better view of the panorama, benches and binoculars have been installed on the platform itself. On hot summer days, young people often spread blankets on the grass around the panorama to spend hours enjoying the peace and comfort of this magical place.

Sea Garden or Seaside Park of Varna

After the liberation in 1881, Mayor Mikhail Koloni was the first to raise the idea of creating a city garden (behind the Theater) and a modern seaside park. The work of M. Koloni and his co-authors quickly yielded results – the garden's area soon reached 26 acres, the first 130 trees were planted, and the paths were repaired.

Sea Garden The seaside garden is forever associated with the name Anton Novak. At the request of the Varna Municipality, in 1894, K. Shkorpil invited a park builder to Varna who specialized in the Schönborn and Belvedere palaces in Vienna. He enthusiastically set to work, and soon the slaughterhouse and landfill were relocated, the shoreline was cleared, and landscaping began on the other side of the ravine next to the cemetery. The work of harvesting suitable woody vegetation was enormous. Carts transported valuable species from Varna, Longos, and Strandzha, the Mediterranean, and Constantinople. The Sea Garden soon earned a reputation as the most beautiful park in the Balkans.

The Sea Garden is one of the symbols of Varna. Its beautiful, cool streets line the city's waterfront. The Sea Garden's distinctive features include well-maintained garden areas, quiet alleys, beautiful, diverse natural vegetation, and numerous cultural monuments located within. The impressive central entrance to the Sea Garden, shaped like columns, was built in 1939 according to a design by the then chief architect, Georgi Popov.
