The old town of Bansko is protected by UNESCO, preserving the cobbled streets and fortressed houses that make it unique.

Just a few minutes walk from Chalet Rozov, the winding streets hide charming mehana's - the traditional rustic taverns specific to this area, which have welcoming courtyards and water features fed straight from the mountain.

A number of museums and monuments exist in Bansko and it is a pleasure to see that the traditional ways of life are still in evidence beside the modern resort.

Aprés-ski in the old town is fantastic with a twist of different. Whether you are dragged from your table by a friendly local to join a ring of Kopanitsa dancers, seeing how many can get onto a table to ring the cow bells or simmering in the jacuzzi bar before moving on to one of the many nightclubs and bars, you're guaranteed a good night out.

We can supply you with maps of Bansko so whether you want to have a day exploring or to sample the aprés-ski or the great nightlife, you won't get lost!
