Ariana Lake
The ice-skating rink on Ariana lake is located downtown Sofia, in the beginning of Boris’ garden (Borisova Gradina). It’s a really cool place, but please be extra careful there – unlike the above two places it’s more famous amongst non-professionals and they can be dangerous. The coolest thing about Ariana lake ice skating rink is that it’s open 24/7 🙂
