It doesn't matter when you are visiting Sofia - having a walk in one of the capitals' parks is always a good idea. Birds singing during the spring, the shade of the trees during the summer, fall colours during the autumn, dozens of snowmen during the winter - do not miss any of these if you rent an apartment in Sofia for your stay. All parks below are located walking distance from the flats we offer and this is a good option for spending half of your day. There are plenty of places to have lunch or a quick snack while enjoying the parks also.
Borisova Garden
Borisova garden features an area around 300 000 sq.m. and it is is among one of the favourite parks in the capital. It is created in 1884 from a Swiss gardenernamed Daniel Neff. At this time the citizens did not understand the building of the park as they did not have proper streets and lights yet. With lots of accacia trees, flowers, oak forest it is a great place to have a walk in the hot summer months. Today you will find tennis court, cycling stadium, kid\s playground, open air theatre, a beautiful waterlily lake and lots of paths for walking. You can also check out Kokolandia - a rope park - and have lots of fun trying to complete the different levels between the trees.
