Worth to be seen around Varna
The largest and first cultural‑historical and edutainment park of its kind in the world is situated on 33 km from Varna, in the village of Neofit Rilski. The vast complex, which in its completed form spans over 500 decares, offers Bulgarian and international visitors an interactive journey 10,000 years back in time through the five eras of human civilization.
It recreates the development that took place on our lands—from the Neolithic periods, through the glorious history of the Thracians and Rome, to the flourishing of the First and Second Bulgarian Empires, making it one of the most remarkable historical places around Varna.
The Historical Park offers different unforgethable activities and you can spend there a full day with your friends or family.
