Burgas stands out as a city that thrives on its connection to the Black Sea. Its streets are calm, its rhythm easy, and the air always carries the scent of saltwater.

The Sea Garden and the Central Beach of Burgas
The Sea Garden is the heart of Burgas. Locals walk, jog, or relax in its shaded paths, surrounded by art and nature. Right below, the central beach invites visitors with wide sandy shores and easy access.
Natural Lakes and Urban Balance
Three major lakes—Atanasovsko, Vaya, and Mandrensko—surround the city. Each offers something different, from birdwatching to quiet picnics. These natural spaces help keep Burgas in balance with its growing urban side.
Arts, Culture, and Everyday Life
Burgas is not flashy, but it’s rich in small cultural moments. Converted tobacco warehouses now house art spaces. Festivals and local events bring life to summer nights without overwhelming crowds.
The Port Area and Island Adventures
The city’s port has become a social hub with cafes and coastal walks. From here, you can take a boat to St. Anastasia Island, which has a small church, museum, and scenic walking paths.
Getting Here and Getting Around
Whether you’re starting from Varna or Golden Sands, reaching the city is easy by road. The drive along the coast or through the Varna region is pleasant and scenic. With My Rent a Car, you can enjoy the freedom to travel on your own schedule.
A Relaxed Contrast to Other Resorts
Compared to places like Golden Sands, Burgas has a more laid-back feel. You won’t find rows of nightclubs here. Instead, expect calm cafes, galleries, and plenty of public space to explore.
Short Trips from Burgas
The city is a good base for short trips. Sozopol, Pomorie, and the Strandzha Mountains are all nearby. Renting a car lets you explore at your own pace, without rushing.
Burgas in One Word: Balance
Burgas balances sea and city, culture and nature, activity and rest. It’s not trying to impress—it simply welcomes you to stay a little longer and breathe easier.
