Spartak in Sofia

Has anyone visited the Spartak swimming complex in Sofia? How much does it cost? Is it crowded? What else can you tell me about it?

sorry, no we didn't. when I read your post, i thought that we were talking about something like the baths in Budapest, but it looks as if it's really a modern sports complex with a pool:

The write up makes it sound as if the outdoor pool is popular in the summer - hardly a surprise - but I doubt that it's going to be swamped with tourists, if that's what you're worried about.

We loved Sofia when we spent 4 nights there about 18 months ago [we went for a wedding] - I hope you enjoy it too.

Just back from (beautiful) Bulgaria. Spartek was an older facility, but very clean with two pools. One 100 meter for serious laps and a smaller, warmer pool also for laps. Cost 12 leva and a 6 leva deposit for the locker key. Some staff members spoke English, some didn't. The pools (indoor and outdoor) in Varna were also great. (newer and less expensive)
