Krasno selo (Bulgarian: Красно село [ˈkrasno ˈsɛɫo]) is a district[2] and neighbourhood of Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, located in the western part of the city.
The name stems from the common noun selo ("village") and the adjective krasno, meaning "beautiful".
[3] After the Second Balkan War and the First World War thousands of families of Bulgarian refugees (mainly from Western Thrace, Vardar Macedonia, Southern Dobruja and the Western Outlands) headed to the large Bulgarian cities in search of a better life.
The growth of Krasno selo was aided by the geographical importance of the western transport corridor leading to Pernik.
One of the first tramways of the Balkans, then known as Knyazhevska, was officially opened on 1 January 1901 along what is today Tsar Boris III Boulevard.
