Review & FAQ:

Borisova Gradina (Borisova Garden), also known as Knyaz-Borisova Gradina, is the largest and oldest park in Sofia. Nestled in the center of the city, the urban park was designed by Swiss landscape artist, Daniel Neff and constructed in 1884 as a small garden in the garden-esque style. Named after Bulgarian Tsar Boris III, the beautifully laid-out and manicured gardens were enlarged over the years with avenues, fountains, a rose garden, and a lake being added. Yuzhen Park (South Park) is another popular urban park in the city that plays host to a variety of outdoor events such as festivals, concerts, and outdoor cinema screenings in the summer.
