You will find it hard to resist a walk in the most popular Sochi parks – Dendrarium and Riviera.
The botanic gardens popularly known as Dendrarium, is a crown jewel among Sochi attractions.
Founded at the end of the 19 th century, these colourful gardens occupy an area of 60 hectares. You will be pleased to see how they are attractively landscaped and carefully maintained.
Dendrarium will amuse you by its rich collection of nearly 2,000 species of tropical and subtropical plants, mainly evergreens. Amazing but most of the plants are not native to Sochi. They were brought here early in the last century from the world over, mainly from the Mediterranean countries, South and North America, Africa, India, Japan, Australia, etc.
And don’t miss the ducks and swans in the lower part of the botanic gardens.
The famous Riviera park has an abundance of cafes, souvenir shops, tennis courts, an open-air theatre and many amusements for children which include a ferris wheel, miniature railway, etc.
