City in Bulgaria

Burgas

4 things to see

Burgas is a laid-back Black Sea port city and one of the cheaper coastal bases in Bulgaria. The long city beach and the Sea Garden park along the shore both cost nothing to enjoy, and wandering the pedestrian streets of the center fills an easy afternoon. It makes a practical jumping-off point for the old town of Nesebar and the artist village of Sozopol just down the coast, with Varna reachable to the north. Late spring and early autumn bring warm water without peak-season prices.
