A museum afternoon that works

Start with the Archaeological exhibition in the centre, walk to the Ethnographic and Historical exhibitions a few streets away, and finish at the Natural Science exhibition before crossing into the Sea Garden. It is the most reliable plan for a rainy or out-of-season day, because everything on the route is within a short walk.

Where these facts come from

The branch list is the Regional Historical Museum's own public structure; the transport and parking details come from Burgasbus line information and the municipal paid-parking tariff. Opening times and ticket prices are not stored by Burgas Now and change by season, so we do not print them — confirm them on the day.
