St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Sofia

Day 1 · 1 h 5 min visiting · approx. 330 m walking between stops

  1. St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral — 45 min visit. Beneath the naves lies a crypt with a collection of Bulgarian icons from the Middle Ages, and the interior is decorated with mosaics and marble from Italy, Brazil and Bavaria.
  2. Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker Church — 20 min visit (approx. 330 m from previous stop). The Russian style of Moscow churches: golden onion domes and colourful façade decoration, quite different from the Bulgarian, Byzantine forms. Hours: 07:45–18:30.

Where to eat along the route (Day 1)

  • Mi Casa — The name points to Mediterranean or Spanish cuisine, and the relaxed pace of service suits dinner for two or a small group.
  • Ротонда — Outdoor tables in season let you have coffee with dessert while sightseeing, without going into a full restaurant.

Day 2 · 15 min visiting

  1. St. Sophia Church — 15 min visit. The bronze monument depicts a female figure with a laurel crown and an owl, standing on a high pedestal at the former site of the Lenin monument.

Where to eat along the route (Day 2)

  • Atena — A plain café for coffee, a pastry or breakfast, where you stop for a short break between sights in the city.
  • Бистро 16 — The kitchen is built around a short, changing daily menu of Bulgarian home-style dishes, so you can eat a hot meal here for a price close to that of a sandwich.
