With a population of 200,000, Burgas is the fourth-largest city in Bulgaria and a major cargo port.

Thanks to its location on the Bulgarian southern Riviera, surrounded by popular seaside resorts, and thanks to Burgas International Airport ( BOJ), it is also a popular tourist destination.

Although there aren’t many sights in Burgas and the city itself consists of unsightly prefabricated blocks of flats, it has surprisingly beautiful beaches separated from the residential areas by a large park.

In the centre, you can stroll along a pleasant pedestrianised area and visit the small cathedral there.
