In 1964, four businessmen conceived of the idea of creating a physical manifestation of the city's gratitude to God. As one result of this project, Thanks-Giving Square has been established. The square is decorated with fountains, a bell tower and the beautiful Chapel of Thanks-Giving, open to adepts of all faiths.

The Pier of Burgas, stretching nearly 300 metres into the Black Sea, is a defining feature of the city’s coastline. Originally constructed in 1936 and revitalised in 2013, it features a 22-metre-high viewing platform and serves as a departure point for boat trips to Saint Anastasia Island. A popular spot for leisurely walks or morning runs, the Pier also hosts the annual Epiphany cross-throwing ceremony, blending natural beauty with cultural tradition.

Surrounded by a beautiful park, this stately edifice was built between 1904 and 1910 at the command of King Leopold II. This museum is home to the largest collection of ethnographic objects from central Africa. Liberally sprinkled with pictures, masks, everyday objects, jewels, decorative elements, musical instruments and a wide range of exotic animals, it showcases the richness and diversity of the African continent. Now, a new impetus is driving this respectable institution. Going beyond the traditional museum concept, it intends to present an open window on the African continent, a change clearly reflected by the desire to understand Africa and its Belgian colonial past in a more critical and objective way. To fulfill this goal, the museum closed its doors for a necessary renovation period. During its closure the museum "pops-up" with temporary exhibitions and activities in different places. The reopening of the completely revamped Royal Museum for Central Africa, a major event, is planned for December 2018 (check the website for the exact date).
