Burgas
Burgas is the fourth largest city in Bulgaria, situated on the Black Sea coast. It is an important cultural, economic, and tourist hub known for its seaside charm and vibrant urban life.
Burgas has been a crossroads of civilizations since prehistoric times. Once a centre for salt and copper trade, it was chosen by the ancient Thracians for their first trading post, later expanded by the Romans with a port-fortress known as Burgos. Over the centuries, Burgas has remained an important hub of cultural and economic activity on the Black Sea coast.
Burgas is one of Bulgaria’s leading destinations for tourism, combining natural beauty, a vibrant coastline, and rich cultural heritage. Visitors can enjoy seaside promenades, explore the Island of St. Anastasia, or relax in the mineral springs of Aquae Calidae, known for their therapeutic properties since ancient times.
The city is also a hub of modern infrastructure and event facilities. Park Arena meets international swimming standards and regularly hosts sports competitions, while the futuristic Arena Burgas complex accommodates up to 7,000 spectators for large-scale events. The newly built Congress Centre and venues like Expo Centre Flora, the Sea Casino Cultural centre, and NHK make Burgas an increasingly attractive destination for conferences and professional gatherings.
Alongside its modern developments, Burgas remains deeply connected to its cultural roots. The Sea Garden, a vast seaside park near the hotel, offers scenic walking paths, gardens, and cultural sites such as the Burgas Opera and the Regional Historical Museum. Just a short walk from Hotel Bulgaria, guests can explore the lively city centre, filled with shops, cafés, restaurants, and landmarks like the Dormition of the Mother of God Cathedral.
Burgas is also known for its dynamic cultural calendar, hosting events such as the Spirit of Burgas music festival and the International Folklore Festival, which draw visitors from across Europe.
Its strategic location on the Black Sea makes Burgas home to one of the region’s largest ports, playing a vital role in shipping, commerce, and tourism. Nature lovers can visit the nearby Poda Protected Area, a haven for birdwatching and local wildlife, or unwind on the city’s beautiful beaches, ideal for both relaxation and water sports.
