Tickets Overview

  • Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is the Balkan Peninsula's largest cathedral, and fifth largest in Europe

  • Alexander Nevsky Cathedral was built to commemorate the anniversary of Bulgaria's independence from Turkish rule in 1912

  • It's a Bulgarian Orthodox church that showcases neo-Byzantine design – domed ceilings, sturdy columns, and iconography

  • The dome of the cathedral is 45 meters high and covered in gold

  • It takes three people to manually ring the bells, which can be heard up to 30 km away

While entry to Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is free, a professionally guided tour will better enhance your visit of this impressive structure.

Guided tours often include entrance to other attractions in Sophia, so it's best to book a combination ticket to save time and money.

  • The cathedral is open every day of the year

  • Check the liturgical calendar before your visit

  • Dress code enforced: knees and shoulders must be covered

  • Wheelchairs and strollers can enter the cathedral with a sloped ramp

  • During mass, photos are not allowed

De kathedraal was mooi, maar de boeking volkomen nutteloos!!! Wij hebben via booking 8,80 euro betaald en een tijdslot geboekt. Bij aankomst kon iedereen gewoon naar binnen zonder boeking en zonder kaartje. Wij voelden ons bekocht. Nooit meer doen!

Sofia

National Palace of Culture

The National Palace of Culture (NDK) is the largest multi-functional conference and exhibition center in south-eastern Europe. It opened back in 1981 to celebrate Bulgaria's 1300th anniversary. The palace was the suggestion of Lyudmila Zhivkova (daughter of former Bulgarian communist leader Todor Zhivkov) and was completed by a team of Bulgarian and international architects. The landscaping of Bulgaria Square in front of the NDK has been subject to a modern redesign and is a hub of activity every day. Inside the building, which has hosted concerts by the likes of Sting, Anastacia, and Mark Knopfler, there are 80 monumental artworks in the halls and foyers, which you can see by joining a National Palace of Culture guided tour.

Dragalevski Monastery

Located near the Dragalevski residential area of Sofia, the Dragalevski Monastery (also Dragalevtsi) was established by Tsar Ivan Alexander in about 1341, and remained after the Ottoman conquest in 1382. Still functioning as a monastery today, tours of the site are a fascinating insight into the history of the monastery and of Bulgaria itself.

St. Nedelya Church

St. Nedelya Church is a medieval monument that now stands as a testament to Bulgaria's years under Communist rule. The church was blown up in a terrorist attack in 1925 and has been reconstructed several times, making it an architectural wonder and a history lesson at the same time. Visitors can opt for a guided tour or take a self-guided tour with audio commentary.

Sofia

The Church of St. George Rotunda

Dating back to the early 4th century, the Church of Saint George is considered Sofia's oldest building. Other than its impressive age, the rotunda also features five layers of frescoes. As you stare at the walls, make sure to keep an eye out for perhaps the most impressive of the lot, which dates back to the 10th century and shows the face of an angel in Bulgarian medieval style.
