Travelling from Plovdiv to Rila Monastery and Boyana church?

One of the best ways to learn more about Bulgaria is by experiencing its traditional customs and religion. Take a private tour to two of the most outstanding churches in Bulgaria – Rila Monastery and Boyana Church.

Founded during the 10th Century, the Rila Monastery is not only one of the most important spiritual centers of Bulgaria, but it is also the largest monastery in the country. Hidden in between the high Rila Mountains Peaks, you will be overwhelmed by the beauty of this place. The small details of the frescos, the rich icons, the architecture and the fresh mountain air will transfer you back in time.

Even though, that part of the construction was destructed during the 15th Century, Rila Monastery is considered as a monument of national importance. A school was also set in the monastery to preserve the Bulgarian language, history and culture during the Ottoman Empire.


The next stop of your private tour, will take you the Boyana Church, which is located just on the outskirt of the capital. This medieval, Orthodox church was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List thanks to its collection of exceptional painting.

Boyana Church was built in three stages, the oldest one dating as far back as the 10th Century. You will be impressed not only by the façade and ornaments on the outside, but as you walk inside you will be in awe of the rich wall paintings. Full-length portraits of the Saints, scenes of St. Nicholas’s life are only some of the frescoes you can admire while at Boyana Church.

The church is surrounded by a small peaceful garden with various trees where you can easily spend an entire afternoon relaxing.
