Main attractions in Albena

We recommend dedicating one day of your holiday to exploring the sights of Albena — and there is certainly plenty to see. First and foremost is Baltata. Guided tours here are offered in the increasingly popular format of eco-tourism, making the experience both fascinating and educational.

Beyond nature enthusiasts, the resort also has much to offer history lovers. On Albena’s sightseeing map, you’ll find several routes for those eager to discover ancient heritage.

For example, you can visit the ruins of the Orthodox Aladzha Monastery, surrounded by a well-preserved row of monks’ cave cells. You can also see the Macedonian Horseman, an officially recognized archaeological monument, located near the resort.

And, of course, in Bulgaria it’s never difficult to get a detailed description of Albena’s attractions from a guide — or even from almost any local resident.

The main attractions within the resort are the Icon Gallery and the Historical Museum, also offering holidaymakers a fascinating excursion into the past. In addition, it is not so much Albena itself, but its surroundings, that figure in the description of the attractions of these places.

For example, the nearby village of Obrochishte, which has a fortress from Ottoman times. You can also visit a picturesque village nearby, such as Gabarnitsa, for a taste of the region's traditional crafts and natural products, as well as meet the hospitable inhabitants.

Don't forget your camera: pictures of the sights of Albena and its surroundings will be a real highlight in your holiday album and will surely delight your friends upon arrival.
