Bansko is without a doubt one of the most famous ski destinations in Bulgaria that attracts more and more tourists from the country and abroad. The guests of the town, which is a museum itself, are impressed by the combination of a modern, luxurious resort and a place that keeps the atmosphere from the Bulgarian national revival which visitors can sense during their walk on the cobblestone streets in the old town of Bansko. The presence of a high number of foreign tourists has led to the concentration of various types of accommodation with a prevalence of 4-star hotels and complexes that offer a combination of SPA services and ski tourism. Tourists can also benefit from the all-inclusive offers. Many of the hotels have their own restaurants and/or traditional Bulgarian taverns, indoor swimming pools and different entertainment services. There are, of course, few 5-star hotels in Bansko among which are Kempinski Hotel Grand Arena and Guinness that accommodate the most pretentious guests. The buildings are big and offer a big number of rooms and apartments, as well as various extras. However, if you would like to feel the real magic of Bansko, we advise you to stay at one of the small family-run hotels or the old restored guest houses where the rooms still smell of history and the breakfast is made by a kind granny. The comfort here can be compared to the comfort in hotels of a higher category. The family hotels, villas and guest houses are especially suitable for families with children or young couples that prefer the coziness of the family home and the authenticity of the taverns. Although urbanization takes its toll in Bansko, the town continues to keep the remains of the past and to give an example of the Bulgarian hospitality and the beauty of the nature. Bansko is a popular destination in the summer as well when guests combine the coolness of the mountain with relaxing SPA and wellness treatments, visits of museums and festivals or the villages near Bansko, including Banya and Belitsa. The jazz festival in Bansko in August has turned into a tradition which attracts international attention and transforms the town into a cultural centre of a world-wide value.
