Beautiful cathedral, although I was hoping to see it from a higher vantage point. Interior is dark, and not overly impressive. 10 lev to take photos

A must-visit in Sofia! This cathedral is a true piece of art that combines history, religion and grandeur into a single entity. It is really gorgeous and looks wonderful from all angles. Moreover, entrance is free! Within the cathedral, you can experience peace and serenity, making it an perfect opportunity for self-reflection. I spent about an hour in it to take in the magnificence of the architecture and the peaceful environment. Moreover, the cathedral is located conveniently in the city center. So you can visit other attractions after this just by walking a bit. There are many delicious F&B outlets available should you crave some food after visiting here. There is also a street market nearby which sells different souvenirs, some of which are vintage, at reasonable prices.

An iconic landmark for Bulgaria with lots of rich history. The cathedral is really beautiful and looks wonderful from all viewing angles. The entrance to the cathedral is free. This is a must visit attraction while visiting Sofia. Nearby attractions include Russian Orthodox Church which is also very beautiful.

A must visit place. The architecture is gorgeous. Entry is free but you take photos, you have to pay a little. The paintings of the walls and under the roof is interesting. Parking places are available but to pay with a specific app or sending SMS from the local number.

The cathedral's ambiance is peaceful and serene, making it an ideal place for introspection and reflection. I spent a considerable amount of time simply absorbing the beauty of the architecture and the peaceful atmosphere. Whether you're a history enthusiast, an architecture lover, or someone seeking a moment of spiritual solace, the St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral offers an experience that is bound to leave a lasting impression. The cathedral's location is also advantageous, nestled within a charming part of the city with ample opportunities to explore the surrounding area.
