Though small and requiring only about 30 minutes to explore, its remarkable frescoes have made a lasting impact on the history of art worldwide. Next, head to the National History Museum, which takes you through 14 centuries of Bulgaria’s rich and complex past.
By midday, pause for a delicious meal at a charming secret restaurant established in 1927. Over lunch, engage in conversation about Bulgaria’s history—from the Ottoman period and Communist Soviet era to its role in World Wars I and II—making the experience both educational and immersive.
In the afternoon, continue with a visit to Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, the largest church in the Balkans, before descending into the Byzantine-era catacombs of St. Sofia Church. Stroll through the city center, discovering the Russian Church, the National Theater and its gardens, the Rotunda of St. George, and the well-preserved Roman remains. Conclude your walk at the Banya Bashi Mosque, where you can explore the Museum of the History of Sofia, the historic Hall’s Market, and nearby thermal springs.
