A 40-meter Ferris wheel, the tallest in Bulgaria, was unveiled in the Boris’ Garden in Sofia as part of the city’s newest event, Sun Fest Sofia. The opening of the Ferris wheel is included in the festive program marking 147th anniversary of Sofia as capital of Bulgaria.
The attraction was manufactured in the Netherlands in 2024. The Ferris wheel features cabins with a capacity of up to six people each, accommodating a total of 150 visitors. The festival will offer a variety of attractions for both children and parents, as well as culinary delights.
Germany’s ambassador to Bulgaria, Irene Plank, said during the opening that she had already had the opportunity to ride the Ferris wheel. “A few days ago, I took a trial round and I can say the view is amazing. From above, you can even see the Vasil Levski Stadium,” Plank said.
Alexander Petkov, the acting mayor of the Sredets borough, also described the view from the attraction as unique. “I hope the name Sun Fest will herald warmer weather, that we can enjoy the upcoming holidays, and that this attraction will be visited by many people who will get the maximum enjoyment from it. Best of luck,” Petkov said.
Sofia’s mayor, Vasil Terziev, was also present and symbolically cut the ribbon at the opening of the Ferris wheel. Terziev was the first to ride the wheel to test it.
