Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is a stunning 19th-century Orthodox cathedral built in a neo-Byzantine style. It is named after the Russian saint Alexander Nevsky in honor of Russia’s assistance liberating Bulgaria from the Ottoman Empire. If there’s just one thing you do in Sofia, make it a stop by this lovely cathedral in the heart of the city.
The Ottoman mosque was constructed in the 16th century, and it remains a beautiful monument in the middle of the city. It underwent repairs in the last year that blocked some of the views, but it is now fully restored and the only mosque left in the city.
One of three UNESCO World Heritage sites in or near Sofia, Boyana Church is located in its namesake neighborhood of Boyana at the base of Mount Vitosha. This Orthodox church was built in three main stages, the first in the 10th century with later additions in the 13th and early 19th centuries.
According to UNESCO Boyana Church is “one of the most complete and perfectly preserved monuments of east European medieval art”.
Established in 1981 as part of the state of Bulgaria’s 1300th birthday celebrations, the The National Palace Of Culture in the heart of the city center is a striking sight to behold in itself.
It is the oldest and best known park in Sofia. You may take a trip to Borisova Gradina Park for some fresh air and tranquility in the city center.
Exhibiting a number of antique items from over 8,000 years ago, visitors at The National History Museum can spend hours learning the stories of Bulgaria’s people, and discovering the relics they left behind. Separated into five halls, each of which represent a different historical era, guests can marvel at the pottery of the Middle Ages before wandering next door and observing the various ornamental burial gifts of the second Bulgarian Empire.
