The popular Plaza de Flores is often crowded but Plaza Julian Romea is an excellent option. There are many great restaurants, tapas bars and bars just to go out for a drink and people watch.

The Lighthouse at the Port of Burgas, the first Bulgarian port lighthouse, has guided ships since the late 19th century. Designed by Sabi Denev and unintentionally looking like a red-and-white candy cane, it stands as a symbol of the city, visible from Central Beach and the Pier. While public access is restricted, the walk to the lighthouse offers panoramic sea views, though the route is unshaded, making early morning or late afternoon visits more comfortable. The surrounding area, with its wave-breaking concrete structures, provides a striking contrast and a peaceful spot to enjoy the sea.

The oldest surviving building of the Namibian capital was originally built to house the German colonial troops in the late 19th century, later going on to become a museum for Namibia's struggle for independence, as well as a historic landmark in itself. The controversial Reiterdenkmal, an alleged symbol of German dominance in the region, has been relocated from its original place opposite the Christuskirche into the yard of Alte Feste for storage. The interior space is closed for public visits as of mid-2019; a few wartime exhibits are showcased out front.
