Bansko, Bulgaria – Four Season Adventure

Bansko, BulgariaNestled in the high mountains, not far from the capital of Bulgaria – Sofia, Bansko is one of the places which brings the spirit of the entire country.

When I was a kid my parents traveled all the way from the eastern part of the country to this magical place to teach me skiing , hiking or just to be closer to nature. Since I grew up enough and started to travel alone began attending town more and more often – alone, with friends or with tourists who visit Bulgaria for the very first time in their life. And the most amazing thing is that every time I take someone out there, the place makes him feel home.

In this article I will share with you some of my favorite things to do in Bansko:
