Interactive experience
What sets the Burgas Air Museum apart is its modern interactive approach. Visitors have the exceptional opportunity to step inside passenger cabins, sit in the cockpits of some of the aircraft, and examine authentic aviation equipment. Through modern virtual reality (VR) headsets, tourists can even experience the thrill of actual flying, making the site one of the most attractive museums on the Southern Black Sea coast.
