The 10 Best Budget-friendly Things to do in Sochi, Southern District
The biggest resort town on what's called the "Russian Riviera," Sochi is preparing to step onto the world stage as the host of the 2014 Winter Olympics. Somewhat ironically, Sochi is really quite temperate for most of the year, with its Black Sea waters warm and swimmable well into October. The Arboretum and Riviera Park are among the city’s most popular destinations. Serving as a beautiful backdrop for Sochi are the Caucasus Mountains, home to the nearby snow skiing resort of Krasnaya Polyana.

The old botanical park consists of an upper and lower park, connected by an underground passage. You can buy a ticket either to both sides for 350 rubles, or only to the small lower one. The upper area is large and interesting. There are many beautiful old park buildings, a suspension bridge and a replica of a dolmen, a pen with ostriches and peacocks, a parrot, an artificial low waterfall with a cave, and a sakura garden. Lots of flower beds with tulips. A pleasant place for leisurely walks. The lower park is smaller in area, with lakes in which swans, ducks and pelicans swim. There is a small bamboo grove. You can get around in 15-20 minutes of leisurely pace. Measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19: thermometry at the entrance, the requirement to maintain social distance, wear a mask.

We've visited the mountain cluster by cable car and the ride was so adventurous and great. Don't miss this cable car ride if you visit Krasnaya Poliyana. Plus while you are going up to the mountains you'll see a breathtaking Panasonic view of Caucasus mountains.
