A fine place of worship in a tranquil setting within Borisova Gradina. Light coloured hues enhance the varied and ornate facade. A fine space awaits within. The iconastasis is wonderful, extensive and containing vivid portraits of saints and prophets. A fabulous chandelier is suspended in the centre, with at least eight segments ornamented with gilt and adorned with holy images. It is part of, and in the grounds of, the Sofia Theological Seminary to which the general public does not have access.

Located at the foot of Mt. Vitosha, Bojana Church is about 900 years old. The church houses the National Museum, which focuses on regional history, art and cultural artifacts.

If you manage to make it up the hill, this church is well worth the journey and 10 Lev entrance fee. The interior has amazing 13th century frescos. Note that the visitor numbers are limited to 8 at any time as space is limited plus they are probably trying to preserve the frescos by controlling humidity levels. You are only permitted to stsy for 10 mins. The grounds are pleasant with benches and plenty of birds( I saw a woodpecker). If you are making your own way there you can combine this visit with the National History museum nearby. We did this by taking trolley bus 2 from the centre to its final stop over the road from the museum. From here you can walk 30 mins up to the church or take bus 107 which goes to the church entrance.

This was the winter ski lodge of the Bulgarian Royal Family build over 100 years ago with a hydro electric plant to supply all its electricity. This is still working now and my partner loved it and found it really interesting. There is also some historical information in a gallery (all Cyrillic sadly) and a nice little cafe. You can walk through the grounds and sometimes go in the house although not when the royal family are in residence which they were when we went there. It was only 5 lev to go in. We really enjoyed it. Bizarrely the royal family were deposed in 1946 but seem to have kind of carried on in an unofficial capacity, or at least doing what they always did but without the state paying for it! Perhaps our royals could learn a thing or two from that!

It is very beautiful during winter time when the whole building is hidden in the snow. Moreover the sacredess of the place is easily felt once you enter the doors. If you hike the mountain, it is great place to stop by and explore.
