Bansko town has around 120 cultural and historical monuments and it is well located for day trips to many other beautiful places including the Rila Monastery, the wine growing region of Melnik or simply walking the in the Pirin National Park which is rich with its lakes, waterfalls, caves, venerable trees, historical sites and birds.

There are many opportunities for activity holidays with canoeing, mountain biking, horse riding all available in the local area as well as a brand new mineral spa pool in Dobrinishte, only 5 kms away

Alternatively, just relax in the town and watch the world go by as you sit sipping coffee or a nice cold beer in the sunshine.

The summer temperatures create an almost Mediterranean feel about the town and it is not unusual to sit outside one of the many cafes or mehanas till late into the evening.

The ski area in Bansko caters for all levels of skier or boarder with lovely wide pistes, many of which are tree lined and there are many off-piste opportunities.

Despite it’s growing popularity, the slopes still remain relatively quiet, with the exception of the major holidays when early risers benefit from almost empty slopes.
