The Lighthouse at the Port of Burgas, the first Bulgarian port lighthouse, has guided ships since the late 19th century. Designed by Sabi Denev and unintentionally looking like a red-and-white candy cane, it stands as a symbol of the city, visible from Central Beach and the Pier. While public access is restricted, the walk to the lighthouse offers panoramic sea views, though the route is unshaded, making early morning or late afternoon visits more comfortable. The surrounding area, with its wave-breaking concrete structures, provides a striking contrast and a peaceful spot to enjoy the sea.

With inspiration from the famous statue in Rio de Janeiro, this 28 metre high Jesus Christ statue was built in 1959. Take the elevator to the top and enjoy a stunning view of the city.

A visit to the Charles H. Wright Museum is a great opportunity for understanding African American history and culture. The museum’s powerful permanent collection includes immersive exhibits like "And Still We Rise," which traces the history of African Americans from Africa to the present day. Life-sized displays and artifacts offer a vivid look at the experiences of enslaved Africans and their descendants. With rotating exhibits highlighting art, music, and activism, the museum provides a thought-provoking and enriching journey into African American heritage.

The Church of Saints Cyril and Methodius, completed in 1907, honours the 9th-century Byzantine brothers who evangelised the Slavs and are credited with creating the Cyrillic alphabet. Designed by Italian architect Ricardo Toscani, this Orthodox cathedral features a three-nave basilica with marble columns and a striking stained-glass depiction of the saints. Known for its intricate iconostasis and frescoes by renowned Bulgarian artists, the church underwent foundation repairs in 2016 and remains a significant cultural and spiritual landmark.
