Burgas Favorite Tips by johngayton Top 5 Page for this destination

Burgas Tourist Information Centre

Favorite thing: Burgas's Tourist Information Centre is located at blvd Hristo Botev 46, in the underpass from the city centre to the Theatre and Opera House. Here multi-lingual staff can assist with pretty much any query including accommodation, public transport and things to do. There are the usual freebie maps and leaflets as well as items for sale.

The website is also very useful, with a nice panoramic virtual tour of the city. The office is also contactable by phone on 056 825772.

The Pantheon

Favorite thing: This is Burgas's Communist-era monument (constructed in 1981) to those killed during the resistance against Fascism. At its centre is an eternal flame and the inside walls have plaques commemorating the individuals.

It looks stark and ugly from a distance but up close it is quite strikingly evocative.
