Boyana

Boyana is a neighborhood in Sofia's Vitosha district, about 7 km south of the city center, at the foot of Mount Vitosha. Until 1961 Boyana was a separate village; today it is one of the most prestigious addresses in the city. It is also home to the Boyana Residence.

The neighborhood has a rich history. In the Middle Ages it was the country residence of the sebastocrator Kaloyan, part of which is the Boyana Church of Saints Nicholas and Panteleimon - a cultural monument on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The National History Museum is also in the neighborhood.

Boyana is very close to nature. Roads and trails to Vitosha start from the neighborhood, and the Boyana Waterfall, about 5 km from the center of the neighborhood, is a favorite weekend walking destination.

The main link to the city center is Bulgaria Blvd. There is no metro, and in everyday life most residents use a car. Listings offer a wide choice of apartments, while houses and properties with gardens are priced separately.
