Sailor Monument

The Sailor Monument

The Sailor Monument in Burgas is a place of remembrance dedicated to the people of the sea — sailors and those bound up with the city's maritime life. Burgas is one of Bulgaria's principal Black Sea ports, and this monument reflects the deep tie between the city and the sea. It is an understated landmark, well suited to a brief stop while exploring the city.

What you'll see

The monument pays tribute to those who lived and worked at sea, set within Burgas's public space. Around it you can take in the atmosphere of a port city and continue your walk toward the seafront and the celebrated Sea Garden (Morska Gradina), the promenade-park stretching along the shore — one of the finest in Bulgaria.

Practical

It's visited on foot, as part of a tour of the city centre and seafront. Combine it with the Sea Garden, the pier (the Bridge), and the city beach. The most pleasant time to visit is from spring through autumn. Details are indicative — for the monument's exact meaning and history, please confirm on site or at the tourist information centre.
