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.

A Bulgarian Orthodox cathedral in Sofia (Bg). Built in Neo-Byzantine style, it serves as the cathedral church of the Patriarch of Bulgaria and it is one of the largest Christian church buildings, as well as one of Sofia's symbols and primary tourist attractions. There is a museum of Bulgarian icons inside the cathedral crypt, part of the National Art Gallery.

Saint Sofia Church

Reviewed By charlielG9293DR

This church has an amazing history and is built on an old Roman necropolis. It is well worth taking the time to watch the video of the history of the church in order to really appreciate it and to have a wander among the ancient tombs underneath.

One of many Orthodox Churches/Cathedrals in Bulgaria. It’s a must to visit whenever you can any Churches/Cathedrals as these will give great imagination on how rich Bulgaria is with their history and architecture. Visited this place there was baptism happening and it makes more memorable visit. Definitely a must place when you’re in Varna.

We visited the Church of the Nativity on a Viking River Cruise excursion. The local church guide gave an excellent overview of each part of the church and meaning of all the frescos. No pictures are allowed inside.

Church of St. Blaise

Reviewed By Ardleystar - Sveti Vlas, Bulgaria

Consecrated in 2010, 'St.Vlasiy' was built and donated by construction magnates Dinevi Brothers on the ruins of an ancient monastery, dating back to the 14th century. It's a must see when visiting this elite resort and stands testament to the master craftsmen's ability to recreate exquisite designs based on historical edifices. Within the locale can be found a statue of Khan Terval who ruled the Bulgarian empire in 800 AD, an amphitheatre and Venid beach.
