Aleksandrovska street is quite wide and green, here you can always hide in the shade of trees from the hot summer sun. There is no unique building here, just a house 2-4 floors high. Many cafes, including open, shops and shops.

Recently, a holiday organized by the political party of Burgas was held here - national music and dances, in which residents who came to support their party were also involved. Do you know another city that has its own political party?

This is perhaps the busiest place in the city. Here, from morning to late evening, there are many people, both working during the day and having a rest in the evening. Little Asia always has a lot of visitors.
And in Burgas there is a real “navel of the city”, the so-called “zero kilometer” sign. Often, near the sign of "zero kilometer" a lot of tourists. It is believed that in this place is the center of the city, so all other buildings are focused on it.

From the City Hall to the central square there are many small brand shops and a large Bill supermarket. There are mainly small shops and shops with goods of Bulgarian, Turkish and Chinese origin.

Finally, we reach the Troikat Square, which is the main square of the city. In recent years, it has been completely renovated and acquired a modern look. On the square the most important events in Burgas are held - the celebration of the city’s day, the New Year. Recently I was lucky to get to the festival of fish and wine.

Perhaps it is noteworthy shopping center "Tria", which is located on the square. But there is a relatively small range. On the square is the building of the Court of Justice of the city.
And of course, the Troikat Square is famous for the monument “Alesha”, as the monument to the people was nicknamed. The monument to the soldier of the Soviet Army was established in 1953. On a high pedestal stands the figure of a warrior with his left hand raised up. The monument was erected by Bulgarian architect Minkov and sculptors Radoslavov and Atanasova.

Since then, several generations of residents of Burgas have changed, and the “Burgas Alesha” has become one of the business cards of the city, its symbol. There were people who advocated the demolition of monuments to Soviet soldiers. But the Supreme Court of Bulgaria ruled to ban the demolition of the monument.

And right in front of the monument “Alesha” there is a fountain spray. It is very unusual to look at the water sprayed from under the tile. It looks like a fog creeping over the ground.
Behind the fountain-spray are beautiful long flower beds with green overseas plantations and a series of stepped fountains.
