Sofia's oldest and most beloved park, established in 1884. Spanning 360,000 square meters, it features rose gardens, tennis courts, a lake, playgrounds, and the Ariana Lake with rowing boats. The park is home to the Vasil Levski National Stadium and the CSKA Sofia football ground. A perfect retreat from the city bustle.
Bring a picnic. Rowing boats on Ariana Lake are a lovely activity. The rose garden is at its best in May-June.
