Famous for its golden sands and cool blue seas, Burgas is a popular tourist spot during the summer months of July and August. This is also the best time to book flights as the city comes alive with festivals and celebrations, such as the internationally renowned music festival Spirit of Burgas. With Sub Focus, Pendulum and System of a Down counting amongst just some of the previous headline acts, the festival is definitely something to consider if you're a music lover. This international festival takes place in on the town’s main beach with performances from some of the top Bulgarian and international musicians. During the festival the city’s main beach will be fairly more busy than usual so it may be worth traveling further afield to check out other beaches to top up your tan.
