What to Expect and Is It Worth Visiting
Seaside Park is the largest public city park in central Sochi, a great place for walking and relaxing. The only bigger park is Sochi Arboretum, but the entrance there is paid. There is also a large Riviera Park, but this is a place for entertainment and attractions, not for quiet walks.
Primorsky Park occupies a coastal area and stretches along the embankment and beaches of Sochi from the Winter Theater and almost to the New Theater. There are paths for comfortable walks in the park, including with strollers, there are ramps (but not everywhere), places to relax, points with picturesque views of the embankment and the sea, sculptures. There are also several interesting places in and near the park that you can visit or just explore while walking: the Winter Theater, free drinking pump room, the historical building of the Seaside Hotel, the city library No. 1 named after A. S. Pushkin. And to the north of the park, next to the New Theater, there is a group of beautiful cascading fountains with evening lighting and a statue of Vysotsky.
In general, in our opinion, Primorsky Park is the best place for relaxing walks in the center of Sochi. There are also walking areas in central Sochi: embankment and marina near the Seaport, Navaginskaya Street, Historical Boulevard.
