The Botanical Garden's Tropical Greenhouse will be open to visitors from 16 to 26 January, every day from 10 am to 4 pm. More than 30 varieties of azaleas, some of which once adorned the Royal Palace, will be in bloom. Blueberries, rhododendrons, ericas and strawberry trees - which belong to the same genus as azaleas - can also be seen.

Orchids, camellias, strelitzias, anthuriums and other interesting tropical plants are also in bloom.

Visitors wishing to buy plants can choose from more than 500 species.

The address of the Botanical Garden is 22, Sofia Ring Road. The garden is located at the foot of Vitosha Mountain, above the ring road, between Bulgaria Blvd and Cherni Vruh Blvd.
