Which churches and religious sites should I actually see in Sofia?
Five: Alexander Nevsky Cathedral (the gold-domed 1912 landmark), Sveta Sofia Basilica next door (6th century, the city’s namesake), the Boyana Church (UNESCO, 13th-century frescoes, €5 entry), the Rotunda of St George (4th century, hidden in a courtyard behind the Presidency), and Sveta Nedelya on the main square. If you have a day free, the Rila Monastery is 117 km south and the reason many Orthodox pilgrims come to Bulgaria. All five city sites are within a 15-minute walk of Serdika metro.
What is the best area to stay in Sofia for first-time visitors?
Sredets is the answer for a first visit — it puts you within a 10-minute walk of Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Sveta Nedelya, the Serdica ruins and the yellow-brick government quarter. Oborishte just to the north is quieter but equally central. Both sit above Serdika metro, so the airport is 20 minutes away on Line 1. Expect three-star doubles at €50-80.
Which is the cheapest month to visit Sofia?
The first two weeks of January are the cheapest, once New Year is over and before the Vitosha ski weekends peak. Three-star doubles in Vazrazhdane or Serdika drop to €35-40, and even four-stars off Vitosha Boulevard fall under €75. November is a close second. Avoid Orthodox Easter and 24 May, when rates jump by a third.
How many nights do I need in Sofia?
Three nights is the minimum for the centre plus Boyana Church and Vitosha, and four is more comfortable. Add a fifth if you want the Rila Monastery day (240 km round trip) without rushing back. Two nights only works if you are treating Sofia as a stopover between Belgrade and Istanbul. Anything beyond five nights is better split with Plovdiv, two hours away by train.
How do I get from Sofia Airport to the city centre?
Take Metro Line 1 from Terminal 2 to Serdika — it costs €0.80 and takes about 20 minutes, running until roughly midnight. From Terminal 1 there is a free shuttle to T2 for the metro. Official OK Supertrans taxis from outside the terminal run €8-13 to Sredets; ignore anyone approaching you inside the hall. Uber does not operate in Bulgaria.

About Boyana
Boyana is a foothill village at the foot of Mount Vitosha, about 15 to 20 minutes by taxi from central Sofia. Its narrow lanes and high-walled houses make it feel like a handful of streets around the 13th-century Boyana Church, a UNESCO World Heritage site, rather than a town with a centre. Five minutes' walk away is the National History Museum of Bulgaria, in a former state residence. Visitors come for the church, the museum and the waterfall trailhead at the top of Boyansko Ezero. A full waterfall hike takes about three hours round trip, or you can turn back at the forest edge. There is no metro, and restaurants close at 22:00. Dragalevtsi and Simeonovo are closer to ski lifts and higher trailheads.
