Bulgaria, a new entrant to the European Union, offers visitors a vacation with all the comfort and luxury combined with fascinating cultural experiences to enrich the visit.

Vacation fun at a price you can afford

A Bulgarian vacation was once known as a bargain-basement affair for Europeans looking for a beach on a budget. While it's still true that Bulgaria has hundreds of kilometres of fine beaches on the Black Sea where visitors find relaxation on a shoestring budget, the sun and sand in this emerging country are no longer the only things bargain hunters are looking for.  Visit Bansko, witness the development, experienced the weather... and discover a mix of architecture, culture, geography, food and people far richer and more varied than you ever expected - all at a price that will keep you coming back time after time.

A winter wonderland

Protected by mountains in the west and moderated by the mild temperatures of the Black Sea, the winter weather in Bansko is a good deal warmer than many parts of western Europe. In fact, it is these factors that make the ski conditions in Bansko, Bulgaria so good. The mountains in Bulgaria receive plenty of snow during the winter and the climate is moderate.  This makes this a great destination for skiers who love the action and are looking for some great snowtime fun!
