Saint Nedelya Orthodox Cathedral

My 1st experience in an Orthodox church could not have been any better.......just amazed at how things turned out for me on the day as was a mass/service going on at the time of my visit so got a chance to stay in a bit and have a feel of that which was so moving and touching.......lm still buzzing from that experience just woooow!!! The building so so ancient yet so rich in culture and material!!! I was blessed enough to have met a lady in the same hotel l stayed in who was a practising Orthodox and was more than happy to accompany me and be my visit's tour guide so she was on hand to explain to me everything that was happening in there on the day as well as guiding to buying some stuff from the shop which l was able to take away for my sacred corner. I would highly recommend anyone who wants to visit here to do so during working hours so they can have a chance to tour inside and also to ne able to light a candle or too in memory of family members and friends long gone........lovely lovely place inside out X

Beautiful and easy to reach. The cost for sky photography is €3. There is no entrance fee. However, it is not suitable for wheelchair users when returning or accessing certain areas.

A stunning orthodox cathedral well worth the effort to go see. I happily paid the Bulgarian Lev fee for photographing inside. Absolutely beautiful! Photographs and videos do not do it justice.

An impressive and beautiful cathedral located right in the city center. From the outside, its architecture with the large dome immediately draws attention and stands out in the skyline. Inside, it’s even more striking. The interior is richly decorated with colorful murals and frescoes covering the walls and ceiling, creating a contemplative atmosphere. It’s a place that manages to feel both grand and welcoming, offering a moment of reflection amid the city’s hustle and bustle. A must-visit for anyone who appreciates religious architecture and sacred art.

Yet another beautiful Orthodox Church in the City Centre of Sofia. Free entry and such a wonderful interior inside. Definitely worth a visit. Must see.

Lovely church, atmosphere. A lot of weddings all day long, but not interferring with visitors. Nice inside, very good choir.

A beautiful and impressive cathedral right in the heart of the city. The interior is stunning, filled with rich icons, golden tones.

Located just steps from Serdica Metro Station, Saint Nedelya Cathedral impresses at first glance with its striking neo‑Byzantine architecture and central dome that defines Sofia's skyline . As you pass through the entrance—free and welcoming—you're drawn into a serene interior enriched with vivid frescoes, ornate icons, and a beautifully carved gilded iconostasis dating from 1865 . Despite its tranquil ambiance today, the cathedral carries a profound and somber history. In 1925, it was the site of Bulgaria’s deadliest terrorist attack: a bomb exploded during a funeral service, killing over 200 people and injuring hundreds more . After rising from that tragedy, the church was meticulously rebuilt and restored by 1933 to stand once again as a place of worship and beauty.
