The Eurovision Week Guide
Everything on this site, plus the parts that only make sense once the schedule is published, in one document you can read on a plane. Free, by email.
What you get
A contest-week guide to Burgas and the coast: show-day timings set against real transport, what is actually open in early May, plans for the two non-show days, and the prices you should expect to pay. Free, and sent when it is finished.

What is in it
- Show days, hour by hour. Doors, start times and finish times set against the last departures on every route back to the coast. This is the section that does not exist anywhere else, because it needs both the EBU schedule and the local timetables.
- What is open. Early May is pre-season on this coast. Which restaurants, bars and attractions are trading in the first half of the month, checked rather than assumed.
- The two free days. Nessebar Old Town, Burgas itself, and the trips that work in a day without a car.
- Real prices. Taxi tariffs photographed at the rank, transfer prices from contracted operators, and what a beer, a meal and a supermarket shop cost.
- Practical Bulgaria. Euro, cards, tipping, the ATM screen that costs you money, and the head gesture that means the opposite of what you think.
- Arrival and departure. Getting in and out of Burgas Airport in a week when everyone else is doing the same thing.
When it lands
The guide is written through late 2026 and finished once the EBU publishes the show schedule, because the timings section is the point of it. Subscribers get it the day it is ready.
We would rather send a finished guide late than an incomplete one early. In the meantime the emails carry the pieces as they get confirmed: ticket sale dates, transport announcements, accommodation availability warnings and the non-show-day material.
What we send, and how often
| Period | Frequency | Content |
|---|---|---|
| Now to January 2027 | Monthly | Schedule confirmations, transport contracts, partner properties. |
| January to May 2027 | Fortnightly | Ticket on-sale alerts, shuttle seats, availability warnings, the guide itself. |
| After the contest | Occasional | Coast and summer material. Unsubscribe in one click at any point. |
Why we are asking for an email address
Because there is nothing to sell you yet, and this is the honest version of that. The shuttle is not contracted, the Week Pass is not built, and the partner rooms are not all signed. All of those exist by early 2027.
An address collected now is worth more to us than one collected in April, because we can tell you about shuttle seats and rooms before they are gone rather than after. That is the trade: you get told first, we get a list. We are not going to pretend it is anything else.

Common questions
- What is in the Eurovision week guide?
- Show-day timings against transport, what is open in the first half of May, non-show-day plans, real prices for taxis and transfers, and the practical Bulgaria material in one document you can use offline.
- Is the guide free?
- Yes. It is sent by email and there is nothing to pay. We ask for an email address because that is how we send it, and because it is how we tell you when shuttle seats and rooms go on sale.
- When will the guide be sent?
- It is written through late 2026 and finished once the EBU publishes the show schedule, because half of it is timings. Subscribers get it as soon as it exists, and get the updates after that.
- How often will you email me?
- Weekly. One email a week with ticket, transport, accommodation and price news, and you can unsubscribe from any email in one click.
- What do you do with my email address?
- We send you the guide and the updates described above, and we record which page you signed up from so the emails are relevant. We do not sell or share the list. Full detail is in the privacy notice.
