PlanetUm is a popular science centre located at the passenger dock on the long pier. At the end of the pier are two photogenic lighthouses, which are among the symbols of Burgas and can be reached in 3 minutes on foot from PlanetUm.
The name PlanetUm comes from the Earth-shaped planetarium building that houses the science centre.
