BURGAS BETWEEN THE SHOWS
Things to do in Burgas during Eurovision 2027
Eurovision week is more than Arena Burgas. The official Host City guide highlights waterfront walks, beaches, the Old Town, nature and short day trips that can fill the gaps between live shows, previews and future fan events.
Plan around the Eurovision show window
The ticketed programme runs from 10 to 15 May 2027, with live broadcasts on 11, 13 and 15 May. Many fans will therefore have daytime gaps between shows. Public Eurovision events may eventually fill part of that time, but Village, EuroClub and wider event details are still pending.
Sea Garden
Around five kilometres of paved walking routes beside the coast, suitable for walking, cycling and scooters, with routes towards the beach, Pier and Old Town.
Pier of Burgas
A waterfront landmark highlighted by Eurovision as a good place for a coastal walk and city views, especially later in the day.
Central & Northern Beaches
The livelier beach options in the official Host City guide, with restaurants and a busier atmosphere.
Sarafovo & Kraymorie Beaches
The calmer, more picturesque beach alternatives identified in the official Burgas guide.
Burgas Old Town
A pedestrian-friendly area with shops, restaurants, bars, cafés and historic buildings — useful for a slower day between Eurovision shows.
Atanasovsko Lake
A nearby nature-reserve destination known for its pink-water landscape, birdlife and flamingos.
St. Anastasia Island
A short boat trip from Burgas, combining coastal views with a separate island excursion.
A simple city walk
The official guide describes the Sea Garden as a natural walking spine through Burgas. One option is to use its paved routes along the coast towards the beach and Pier, or follow the garden route into the Old Town.
Because Eurovision Village and other fan-event locations are not confirmed yet, this is a general sightseeing idea rather than an official Eurovision route.
Keep May weather in mind
Average May temperatures cited by Eurovision are around 21°C for daytime highs and 12°C for lows. That can be pleasant for walking, but it is not a guarantee of beach weather or a forecast for the 2027 event week.
