Bourgas

Bourgas is the largest port on the Black Sea and the fourth largest city in Bulgaria. It is a lively, compact city with many pedestrians and outdoor cafes on its street, providing a decidedly Mediterranean ambiance.

It is a wonderful city to use as a base from which you can explore the resorts that are not too far away. You can also watch the birds at the serene lakes. Bourgas’s long beach and neighboring Marine Park are popular for walking. The region’s economy is thriving on the shoe stores, trendy clothing stores and new arcades, and with its restaurants and bars, Bourgas is popular throughout the year.

Early June is when the season begins, with the city filling up with people and no vacancies available in the hotels. The season ends as September winds down. Bourgas isn’t the most famous beach spot, but it still has much appeal as a seaside town with many things to do. The country’s largest sea port is Bourgas’ port.

Many people stay in Bourgas and take day trips to the nearby resorts, such as Sunny Beach, 30km (19 miles) north and quaint Sozopol, 34km (21 miles) south, and UNESCO-protected historical town, Nesebar, 20km (12 miles) north.
