Boyana church , there is a minimum 10 minutes stay inside church. Strict rules have to be followed for external area ( smoking , food). Paintings inside church are worth for visiting and waiting. Ticket is 5 euro / 10 leva. There is a ticket kiosk with some souvenirs

I spent about an hour in this church and was amazed by how well preserved it was. It is amazing how the 3 layers of buildings across built across centuries smoothly intertwined into a single one. The fresco paintings are from different periods, from the 11th to the 19th centuries. The garden around the church is also very lovely and peaceful. Due to its small size, the church only allows a small group of people in for a very limited amount of time. I was not allowed to take pictures of the beautiful and well preserved frescos due to its UNESCO heritage status. I would have preferred to take a longer time to appreciate them. However, I still enjoyed my visit and I recommend it to anyone who wants to see a place with an enormous significance for the Bulgarian heritage.

It’s alright… just alright. Quick reminder. It’s free to view the church from the outside and take pictures of it as well as view the garden. It costs 10BGN for an adult to enter a 2BGN for students to enter the church inside with a guide which I think is every 10-15 minutes. Overall a nice experience worth visiting

UNESCO world heritage site, very small church and they give you only 10 minutes slot to stay inside. Tickets are very reasonable and there was no queue. The nearby area is residential, peaceful and hilly.

In 1979, the church was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Orthodox temple with beautiful frescoes. It is small but perfectly groomed. By the way, you can go for a walk in the mountains.
