Parks Places Map
Parks in Sofia:
South Park
Bring your own snacks! I found that the food options in the park are limited and a bit pricey. Pack a picnic and enjoy it on one of the lovely benches instead.
Borisova Gradina
My advice is to wear comfy shoes! There are lots of paths to explore, and you'll want to walk around and take it all in. Flip-flops probably won't cut it.
Rila Park
Look for the little hidden spots off the main trails. Some of the best views and peaceful moments I had were away from the busy areas, so don't be afraid to explore a bit!
Bring a picnic! The park is perfect for a relaxing lunch outdoors. I saved quite a bit by packing snacks instead of buying food on-site, which can be pricey.
Doctors Garden
Check out the local art installations scattered around the park. Some of them are really cool and make for great photos. Don't rush past them!
I suggest wearing comfortable shoes; the paths are nice but can be uneven. Trust me, you'll want to explore without worrying about your feet!
