Tulips of Sofia during the spring of Covid 19 pandemic

- April 27, 2020

Whether it is because we are locked at home because of the pandemic of COVID 19, or simply because it is spring and the weather is beautiful, the capital of Bulgaria - Sofia is fabulously beautiful at the moment.

Unfortunately, the streets are deserted, but the parks and gardens, on the other hand, are beautiful.

I offer you a short walk in the center of Sofia. Enjoy masterfully made gardens, mostly decorated with tulips and other spring flowers.

Who says Holland is the land of tulips? :)
The walk starts from the monument Cathedral Saint Alexander Nevski and goes along the garden of the Holy Synod of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church and the monument of the Bulgarian volunteers. Enjoy true tulip paintings and different colors and types.

We continue along Moskovska Street, behind the Russian Church "Sveti Nikolay Marlichiiski" and past the Art Gallery and the former Tsar's Palace. Unfortunately, the royal garden is closed with police tapes because of the pandemic, but this does not prevent the visual enjoyment of the beautiful spring.

We descend along the National Ethnographic Museum and pass on the side of the Bulgarian National Bank. There is the city garden. In place of the former mausoleum of Georgi Dimitrov, we have a real flower extravaganza.
