Golden Sands is a gem on the Bulgarian coast, situated 17km north of Varna. It's renowned for its golden, clean beaches - hence the name. The resort is nestled in a beautiful national park, guaranteeing not only stunning beach-side vistas, but greenery-filled landscapes too.

Your Journey Begins Here: Varna Airport

Varna Airport, located around 30km away, is the closest airport to the resort. The majority of flights from the UK will bring you here. While public transportation is available, the most comfortable way to start your vacation is with a rental car. This opens up the opportunity to explore the stunning surroundings of Golden Sands at your own pace.

Driving in Bulgaria

The Usual and Unusual Rules of the Road

  • Driving is on the right-hand side of the road, opposite to the UK.
  • Seat belts are compulsory for all passengers, just as in the UK.
  • Use of mobile phones while driving is prohibited unless you have a hands-free system.
  • Unlike the UK, it is mandatory in Bulgaria to carry certain items in your car like a reflective vest, warning triangle and first aid kit.

Speed Limits

In town areas, the speed limit is typically 50km/h. Outside of town, it's up to 90km/h, and on highways, you can travel at 130km/h. To be on the safe side, always adhere to the signed limits.

Choosing your Rental Car

A compact or economy car is a great choice for city driving and short trips. However, if you're planning to explore the diverse landscapes, you might consider a larger vehicle. No matter what you choose, make sure to book in advance for the best prices and availability!

Exploring Golden Sands and Beyond

Golden Sands offers a wonderful mix of vibrant nightlife, relaxing beaches and stunning nature trails. If you wish to go beyond, there's plenty to explore! The ancient city of Varna is a short distance away, or venture further to the historical city of Plodiv or the beautiful Sozopol.

Experience the Thrill of Bulgarian Festivals

Bulgaria is home to various seasonal festivals. One of the most popular is the Surva Festival held in January, where you can be witness to local folklore and culture. Be sure to check local events during your stay.

Preparing for the Climate

The climate in Golden Sands is typically Mediterranean. Expect hot, dry summers and mild winters. Remember to pack your sunscreen and hats for the sunny beach days!

Remember the Currency

The local currency is Bulgarian Lev (BGN). Most places accept credit cards, but some small restaurants or shops may only take cash. So keep some lev handy!

We hope this guide has been helpful in planning your trip to Golden Sands. Prepare to be swept away by the charm of Bulgaria!
