Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker

a spectacular church - I particularly love the gold trim. it makes it seem super ornate and beautiful. it’s very nice inside but you can’t take pictures so you’ll just have to take me at my word for it. you can also go downstairs into the crypt which is cool. also they have paintings of biblically accurate angels on the walls which is nice to see

If you are interested in a better angle for photos, head over to the back of the church by the park. It is less busy and more chances of you getting a solo shot. This is the more humble and smaller church in the old city of Sofia. The architecture itself is reflective of most Orthodox Christian churches with the orb cupolas which are glistening and gleaming of gold. Still a cool stop to make during your walks!

I love classy things. This church is exactly that. No photos inside so you will have to have a look for yourself 😉

Beautiful place! Your can write down your wish and ask St Seraphim to help

Hey, we are Vicky 🇵🇪 and Malte 🇩🇪 from the travel blog Traveling Is Our Passion. For our full one-day Sofia itinerary, check out our blog! The Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker is a tiny hidden gem dating back to the 13th century. It’s easy to pass by on the way to Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, but worth a short stop if you enjoy history.

The Church of St. Nicholas the Miraclemaker (Църква „Свети Николай Мирликийски“) is a hidden gem in Sofia that captivates visitors with its charm and spiritual ambiance. This small yet elegant church, dedicated to St. Nicholas, boasts beautifully preserved frescoes and intricate wooden carvings that reflect traditional Bulgarian Orthodox art. The peaceful atmosphere invites quiet reflection, making it a wonderful spot to pause amidst the city’s bustle. Its historical significance and timeless beauty make it a must-visit for anyone exploring Sofia’s cultural heritage.

Small but beautiful Orthodox church with golden onion domes. The exterior is very ornately decorated, and the interior is filled with mosaics and fresco wall paintings. It's well worth the visit.

Good saved church, not allowed to take photos inside, good location inside small park
