In the center of Boboshevo, the Nikifor Bibin House Museum presents a permanent museum collection.

In the upper part of Boboshevo, near the town cemetery, stands the late medieval Church of Saint Athanasius, dated to either 1590 or 1600.

Outside Boboshevo, on the road to Dragodan, stands the Chapel of Saint George, built on the site of an older church. On the ridge of the southern Ruen slope stands the Chapel of the Holy Archangel Michael. It was built after the Liberation on the site of an earlier church.
