You can pay ONLY by cash and you HAVE TO BUY both tickets. Paying is at two separate places. The inside is very beautiful you can walk for hours and take nice photos. The day we went wasn't sunny and it was packed with people inside.
1/5 – Very Disappointing Experience at Balchik Botanic Garden- I wish i could be able to give 0 stars I have been visiting the Balchik Botanic Garden every summer for the past 8 years, but this year was extremely disappointing. Visitors are now forced to purchase two tickets—one for the Botanic Garden and one for the Castle—even if they only wish to see the Garden. This policy is unreasonable, especially since the Castle is located on the opposite side of the royal domain, and ticket checks are in place before entering the Castle. There are even separate kiosks for Garden and Castle tickets, which makes this rule even harder to understand. When I explained at the ticket counter that I wanted to visit only the Botanic Garden, I was sold the correct tickets. However, at the security checkpoint, my entry was denied. Worse, one of the guards acted aggressively, even touching me, and staff refused to refund my tickets. I was left with no option but to call the police. Only after this the staff agree to issue a refund. The police officers were professional and polite, but they themselves admitted that this type of incident happens here frequently. It is unacceptable for such a beautiful and important tourist attraction to be managed by poor management, aggressive staff, and unfair ticketing policies. I truly hope that the Ministry of Tourism of Bulgaria investigates this situation and ensures visitors are treated with respect.
The garden is very beautiful, it worth the price… the castle, no. You can pay only with cash the tickets and you need to buy the tickets from 2 dif places.
The Balchik Botanical Garden is a true paradise by the sea. Spread along the stunning Black Sea coastline, it enchants visitors with an incredible variety of flowers, exotic plants, and lush greenery from all over the world. Every path reveals new colors, fragrances, and perfectly arranged landscapes that invite you to slow down and simply enjoy the beauty around you. The sound of the waves in the background adds to the magic, making this place feel like a dream. It’s not just a garden — it’s a living piece of art, and one of the most peaceful and beautiful destinations in Bulgaria.
Price for entering is 30 lev per person, technically it's 15 but they force you to buy ticket for the castle as well. Can easily spend 4 5 hours in these beautiful garden without getting bored. Not being able to pay by card or online it is indeed something the administration need to work on. it's 2025... get with the times please 🤗
