A nice place for walk. It's quiet with a lot of trees and different paths you can take. It's suitable for a walk with friends, with your dog and there are paths suitable for strollers. After working hours or during the weekends, there are parts of Borisiva garden that can be really crowded.

Great spacious park with a nice forested area. There's play areas for kids, pleasant walking trails, and for those in need of a pitstop... a few cafe/bars to grab a beer or sandwich

amazing park! my friend and I set up camp under a pavilion and sat there for like 6 hours just chatting and then subsequently reading our books. i’m impressed by how many people bought their own hammocks with them and strung them up between the trees. pretty cool idea. there’s also a water fountain with ice cold water in the middle of the park past the playground and also bathrooms however they were closed when we went

Beautiful and iconic park in the heart of Sofia. It’s spacious, green, and full of history. You’ll find wide tree-lined paths, flower gardens (especially the Rosarium), and peaceful spots like the lily pond and the Japanese corner. Great for walking, jogging, or just relaxing on a bench. There are playgrounds for kids, sports areas, and even cafés around if you want a drink or snack. Easy to reach by metro (Stadium Vasil Levski station is right next to it). Some parts are a bit less maintained, but overall it’s one of the best places to enjoy nature and unwind in the city. A must-visit if you’re in Sofia!

Today we experienced something beautiful. 🌳 A park with many attractions, a punk concert that made us remember the past 🎶, and many stands with tasty food 🍩🍺. I really envy Sofia. We liked it a lot ❤️.
