Probably the best heritage site in Sofia. Try to compare to Giotto's masterpiece in Assisi, painted fifty years later!

Quite expensive to enter the church at 10 lev. Not allowed pictures inside the church. But informative guide answers questions in English. Lots of 13th century religious paintings inside this very small church. It has a 19th century annex to house more people, but stopped being used as a church in 1954. Worth a look if you don't mind paying the steep entrance fee.

It is a UNESCO heritage site.
Very small church with 8 people access at once due to the protection of the church inside. Freco is quite impressive.
Enterance fee is 15LB per person.

The church is spectacular. The experience was an epic fail. First, it's all Bulgarian. People, this is a World Heritage Site!!! English is the global language. It should be standard, STANDARD, that all signage and employees are bilingual. The sign suggests English tours available but I was firmly and gruffly told no, twice. Who knows if they understood? Oh, and smiles only happen when they see money, if then. The woman specialist doesn't care whose turn it is. If you want to maintain your place in line you will have to battle it out with those who insist on ruining it for the rest of us by sneaking around the back way to get to the front. The experience ruined the beauty of the church. (then someone has the audacity to say this happens everywhere in Europe. Um, no. I live in Munich. Traveled extensively. First I've seen of it.)

I recommend the guided tour in French. My guests were fasinated from the depth of knowledge and the personal attitude of the guide. The park is relaxing, good to stay for a short break.

Worth a visit. UNESCO heritage site. Go early to avoid the crowd. They permit groups of 7 to 8 at any one time

Beautiful church with some amazing frescoes - protected as a UNESCO world heritage site. Our tour guide was able to tell us some great information, such as that working from the rear of the church, the three sections are 11th, 13th and 19 century.

The fresco of the last supper, painted in the 11th century is wonderful, and it is interesting to note the differences against the more famous painting, as well as to try and count the apostles.

The door to the newest section of the church was rehung from the middle section, and is covered in bullet holes - made by Ottoman Janissaries who expected the building would have contained money or treasures.

The waiting time per group inside the church is limited to around 10 minutes in order to help preserve it, but it is definitely time well spent.

Amazing frescos, amazing history connected to you. St. Nicholas

It's a small church which while uninspiring from the outside more than makes up for it with the splendor on the inside.

Stunning religious images cover the inside but what really makes these ones stand out are the realistic faces which makes it feel like real people are staring at you across the centuries

I definitely recommend visiting the Boyana church. The church is one of the most perfectly preserved European monuments.

This is one of the very well preserved and most beautiful churches in Sofia. It is situated it the heart of Vitosha mountain and only about 30 minutes away from Sofia center. The building is part of UNESCO World Heritage List.

The guide was extremely kind and explained a lot about the paintings on the wall and church itself. This is a UNESCO building and as such is a must see!
