St Nicholas Russian Church

Dazzling yellow Russian church with green majolica domes

Address 3 Tsar Osvoboditel Blvd

The prettiest church in Sofia — bright yellow tiles, emerald green majolica domes, and five gold onion cupolas. Built by Russian craftsmen in 1912 for the Russian embassy next door. Free to enter; the crypt holds the tomb of Bishop Serafim, where locals drop handwritten wishes into a box beside his sarcophagus.
