A retro vintage tram is back on Sofia's streets, ushering in the festive spirit for the holiday season.

Starting today, December 18, at 3:00 PM, the Christmas-themed tram departed from "Vazrazhdane" square, as announced by the Urban Mobility Centre.

During the public holidays, including today, 26 December 2018, and 1 January 2019, the Blue and Green short-term parking zones in the capital will not be operational, said the Urban Mobility Centre. Parking in these areas will be free of charge; in all other days during the holiday week the regular parking rules for the zones will apply.

The Blue and Green parking zones in Sofia will be closed today due to severe weather conditions, said the press office of the Urban Mobility Centre (UMC). Clearing parking lots in front of schools, kindergartens and public buildings will take priority.
