South Park

Look out for the playground area if you have kids. It’s not too crowded and they can have a blast while you relax nearby. Just remember sunscreen if it’s sunny!

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.
The Sea Garden
Borisova Gradina
Try to visit in the early morning around 8 AM. The park is less crowded then and you can enjoy the peaceful beauty without the noise of other tourists.

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.
Sunny Beach

I totally recommend hitting the beach early in the morning around 7 AM. You'll have the whole place to yourself and can grab a good sunbed for cheap before it fills up.

One thing I wish I knew was to always haggle for taxi fares. I got ripped off by a few drivers, so I recommend agreeing on a price before jumping in!

I think exploring the beach bars in the evening is a must. Grab a drink around 6 PM for happy hour deals. Trust me, you'll find some great mixology going on!
The Central Beach

I suggest arriving around 8 AM to grab a good spot on the beach. It gets super crowded later, and you don't want to be hunting for a sunbed!

My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks. The beach bars can be pricey, especially when you're craving a refreshing drink. Save some cash for nice dinners instead!

I recommend exploring the nearby old town after your beach day. It’s charming with pretty streets and less crowded. Plus, you can find some great little cafes for a relaxing dinner.

I think renting a sunbed for the whole day is worth it, but be sure to negotiate the price. Some places might overcharge you for those!
University Botanical Garden

Wear comfortable shoes, because you'll be doing a lot of walking. I ignored this advice and ended up with sore feet, which kinda ruined the experience for me.
I recommend bringing a water bottle since there aren’t many places to refill. Staying hydrated while wandering around the beautiful paths is a must!

I suggest going early, like around 9 AM, to beat the crowds. You can enjoy the serene beauty of the garden without distractions and get some great photos in the soft morning light.

Check out the seasonal flower displays; they change often! I stumbled upon a beautiful rose garden in full bloom, and it was one of the highlights of my visit.
Prohodna Cave
Garden of Tsar Simeon

If you can, visit the garden early in the morning, around 7 AM. It's super peaceful then and the flowers are really fresh. Plus, it won't be crowded, so you can snap great pics.
Boyana Waterfalls
Waterfall Kostenets

I recommend visiting on a weekday, preferably around 10 AM. It was way less crowded and I could enjoy the peace and beauty of the waterfall without the noise.
