This list contains of three of the cult places that Sofia residents go to. These free activities for travelers are very popular among the locals especially in sunny weekends when many people enjoy the outdoor activities. Since Bulgaria has all the four seasons, you can basically do them almost whole year round.
HANG OUT AND HAVE A BEER AT THE NATIONAL THEATER IVAN VAZOV PARK
The small park in front of the National Theater “Ivan Vazov” is one the most popular tourist spots for photo shooting and one of the most popular meeting spots for locals in Sofia. The real charm of the garden has two faces. During the day is crowded with people. There are two playgrounds for children on the both ends of the park.
The alleys are filled with benches with people and in the middle, exactly at front of the main entrance of the theater is the fountain refreshing the summer air. The building of the National Theater Ivan Vazov is also really beautiful and it's worth it going in.
Usually, during the winters in this park there are "German" kiosks with hot red wine and sausages. It's a perfect place to hang out and have a 2 liter beer plastic bottle from the store(which is also something very unique which we haven't seen in any other country).
