City Park “Sveti Vrach”

When visiting Sandanski, one of the most memorable experiences is undoubtedly the walk through the City Park “Sveti Vrach”. This spacious park is a favorite of both locals and visitors of the city — spread over an area of 344 acres, it turns into a veritable green oasis with over 200 Mediterranean plant species, shady alleys, fresh air and a pleasant romon from the passing river.

What to expect from the park?

The city park “Sveti Vrach” offers a feeling of peace and harmony, regardless of the season. The aroma of cypresses and laurel trees mixes with the gentle sound of birds, and at every step you will see small hidden corners where you can sit with a book or just enjoy nature.

The park impresses with long and well-groomed alleys, ideal for morning jogging, a sunset walk or cycling. Playgrounds make the place a top choice for families, and romantic benches by the river predispose to long conversations or relaxing moments of solitude. Your walk will also take you to small ponds, colorful gardens and extensive meadows that bloom in spring and summer.

Walking through the park, you will discover some real “jewels” — small wooden bridges over the river, peaceful stretches of centuries-old trees, and sometimes you will meet artists who capture nature on their canvas.

The atmosphere in “Sveti Vrach” brings the spirit of hospitality — both for walks in the open air and for quiet moments in nature. Locals often share the park for friendly get-togethers or picnics, but the place never seems crowded, even during the warmer months.
