Bourgas

About Bourgas

Set on Bulgaria’s peaceful and picturesque coastline, the port city of Bourgas (sometimes written as Burgas) is known as ‘the gateway to the Black Sea’. The beach runs primarily alongside the city’s 5km Sea Garden, which stretches from a luscious park area all the way down to the pier.

Sunny Beach and Obzor Beach are popular for activities like jet-skiing and surfing, and you’ll find lots of warm and welcoming companies and restaurants renting out loungers and umbrellas. Irakli Beach is a great choice if you want a more serene spot to enjoy the sun, sea and sand – wild and undeveloped, it rarely gets crowded here.

The Old Town is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site, bursting with historic charm thanks to its old Byzantine churches, ornate fountains, historic forts and well-preserved Roman ruins. You’ll also find a lively pedestrianised centre, where cafés, bars, boutiques and restaurants decorate the pretty cobbled streets.
