Boyana Church & Thermal SPA

Unveil the splendor of the first Bulgarian church gracing the esteemed list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and behold the finest-preserved church in Bulgaria from the XIII century. Just a mere half-hour from the vibrant capital, Sofia, your adventure awaits!

Embark on a pilgrimage to the Boyana Church—a remarkable museum adorned with orthodox frescoes depicting saints and the local aristocracy. This artistic marvel signifies a zenith in the painting school of the Second Bulgarian Kingdom. Its extraordinary frescoes, dating back to 1259, herald the dawn of the pre-Renaissance era in European art, a full 50 years before Giotto graced Italy's canvas.

After your cultural sojourn, immerse yourself in the soothing embrace of Lake Pancharevo, nestled within Bulgaria's largest water reservoir. Framed by majestic mountains, the lake area offers a scenic eco-trail and opportunities for non-motorized water sports such as boating, kayaking, and water cycling.

Here, you shall find a wondrous complex boasting healing mineral waters. Crystal clear and exceptionally beneficial, these waters aid in the treatment of joint, bone, urological, gynecological, and neurological ailments. With temperatures ranging from 35°C to 39°C, depending on the season, the spa complex features both outdoor and indoor mineral pools, a sauna, a steam bath, and a cozy jacuzzi. Your rejuvenating stay at this enchanting spa shall last no more than three hours, including time for a refreshing change.
