Alexandrovska Street

Alexandrovska Street is the main shopping street in Burgas. It runs North from the railway station and bus station past Hotel Bulgaria and Burgas University to the Saint John Of Rila Church.

The clock on Alexandrovska is a popular meeting place. It is on the corner of Alexandrovska and Aleko Bogoridi Street next to Svoboda Square.

The Alexandrovska is your best chance to find name brand clothes and accessories that are not copies as you normally see in the Black Sea resorts, but the real thing.

The monument to the Soviet soldier is from the Warsaw Pact days. Because of Bulgarian history, not least the Russian help at the battle against the Turks at the Shipka Pass, Russia has been seen as a real friend of Bulgaria. The beautiful Russian Church at the foot of the Shipka Pass is another example.

The new university building is the pride of Burgas, not least the students at the university.

The Alexandrovska has a stretch from the University up to the St. John Of Rila Church as well. Although it is also a pedestrian street, this seems to have evaded many car drivers.
