Nightlife

Nightlife in Bansko can be varied. Bansko combines traditional and modern places to go out. The town has about 45 pubs, 30 restaurants, and several very good night clubs.

Many Mehanas even offer live folk music. Most menus offer light snacks, cheese boards and a selection of cured meats. The local cafes and bars offer varieties of refreshments. The town square, a popular meeting place for both locals and tourists, is lined with street cafés serving both imported beers as well as the high quality local brews. There is always a wide selection of wines and spirits available and the famous rakia made locally from plums or other fruit of the season.

Discos and nightclubs in Bansko open until very late at night and usually throw great parties. They add up some modern flavour to this small old town. Why not visit some of Bansko’s most popular disco/clubs when you are here, great for that last dance of the early morning.

Winter

In less than 20 minutes a fast Gondola cable lift will take you to the ski centre. Bansko is one of the few resorts in the world to offer the option whether to return by the Gondola or ski down the ski road, a unique 16-kilometres of uninterrupted skiing, starting from Todorka Peak at the highest point, all the way to base station at the outskirts of town.

The ski centre has over 65 kilometres of marked ski runs and cross country tracks.

The ski runs are serviced by a number of cutting edge Doppelmayer ski lifts, chair lifts and drag lifts, including the 8-man Gondola and the four-chair lift with bubble shields to protect from harsh weather.

There is a ski- kindergarten for children from 4 to 7 years old with 3 baby drags, a Wonder Carpets baby track, and a winter/ summer rotunda type Kinder Carousel.

In the Platoto area there is a fun park which has artificial bumps and jumps. You are also given the opportunity to build your own.

Bansko offers what is probably the best après-ski, because it is a unique combination of a modern mountain resort and a living rustic town. Almost a hundred “mehana” dining places offer local cuisine dishes, with traditional song and dance, performed by local artists.

State of the art facilities - good variety for all types of skiers, off piste and cross-country skiing.
