Local tip
Only 10 minutes walk from the central railway station, few more museums and galleries nearby. Leave your luggage for storage and explore this part of town before your next connection. Good especially on a cold rainy day when the beach is not an option.
Burgas Historical Museum was established over a century ago and is now one of the biggest historical museums in Bulgaria. It specializes in the research and study of the region's customs, crafts and folklore. The museum runs all year-round educational and promotion programs for popularizing Bulgarian national traditions. There is an Ethno-workshop where visitors can learn various traditional crafts and get their hands on some genuine tools of the trade. If, however, you are not happy with what you have made yourself, check out the Museum Store - they sell all kinds of quaint souvenirs to all tastes and budgets.
