This is a beautiful historic Cathedral commemorating people who died liberating Bulgaria. It is an easy walk from the city center. I attached several pictures including the outside and a few inside.

We want a refund. The operator did not respond to our message asking when he would pick us up and never showed up. The booking said between 7 AM and 7 PM but he never arrived. We waited all day

Stupenda cattedrale simbolo di Sofia. Molto bello il tetto che con il riflesso del sole lo rende fantastico. Anche l interno è molto bello

La Catedral Alexander Nevsky es la sede de la iglesia ortodoxa tiene planta cruciforme con una gran cúpula central, realizada en oro. No hicimos la visita guiada, la visitamos por nuestra cuenta mi esposa, mi hijo y yo y accedimos al lugar caminando. Imperdible en la visita a Sofia.

Arnaque. Il n’en coûte rien pour entrer dans la cathédrale. Il n’y a pas de visite guidée. Tout ce que vous recevrez est un PDF électronique de 11/2 page. Il n’est même pas possible de prendre des photos sans payer. Éviter d’acheter ce forfait.

Мы с друзьями давно хотели посетить главный храм болгарской столицы и решили взять самостоятельный тур. Мы получили прекрасный гид с огромным количеством интересной информации, принесу легко сориентироваться, написано доступно, есть дополнительные интересные факты! Нам понравилось и мы с удовольствием воспользовались и ещё несколькими турами этого агенства.

Primero digo que no hice una visita guiada. Visitamos, mi pareja y yo, esta espectacular catedral, solos. El exterior es realmente bellísimo pir donde se le vea y el interior es aún mucho mas bello. Iconos impresionantes, toda la iconografia es espléndida, la majestuocidad, sus candelabros, las pinturas en sus muros. Un recorrido de unos 90 minutos máximo.
