Day Trip to Rila Monastery and Boyana Church from Sofia

Discover two of Bulgaria's most important treasures on this day trip from Sofia: the Rila Monastery and the Boyana Church, both declared UNESCO World Heritage Sites. These monuments reflect the spiritual, artistic, and historical richness of the country and are key pieces to understanding Bulgarian identity throughout the centuries.

The day trip starts in Sofia heading to the Rila Monastery, the country's religious and cultural center during the Middle Ages and the Bulgarian Renaissance, where you will enjoy a guided tour and free time. Afterwards, you will continue to the Boyana Church, on the outskirts of the capital, where you will discover its extraordinary medieval frescoes and the evolution of Bulgarian religious art through its different historical stages.
