Burgas is one of the largest cities in Bulgaria. It is located on the Bulgarian Black Sea Coast and it’s famous for its sandy beaches, rich history, and diverse cultural offerings. Burgas train station was officially opened in 1903. The station building was designed by Bulgarian architects Nikola Kostov and Kiril Marichkov. The same project was used for construction of the Varna station. Railway stations in Burgas and Varna are almost identical – they differ only in some details.
Train station in Burgas was renovated in 2006.
