Burgas is a Bulgarian Black Sea base for beaches, sea gardens, ferry-like coastal movement, and access toward Nessebar. It works when the coast needs a practical city behind the resort towns.
Do not visit Burgas expecting every worthwhile stop to be close together or easy to improvise. Do the practical reading of Burgas first: hours, routes, weather, crowds, and how far the neighborhoods really sit from one another. For Burgas, group stops tightly, verify hours, and use a ride when transit, darkness, or neighborhood conditions make that wiser. If the main interest is one nearby site, it may be better to treat Burgas as a base rather than the whole destination.
