The History of The Old Town
Welcome to the Old Town of Bansko
Dating back to the 9th -10th century A.D
BANSKO
Unlike so many ski resorts, Bansko doesn’t hibernate in the summer. It comes to life with music festivals and cultural events and becomes a convenient base from which to explore the beautiful Pirin Mountains.
The town is a nationally significant settlement dating back to the 9th -10th century A.D. The cobblestone streets of the old quarter are lined with Revival mansion made of stone and timber, surrounded by fortress style walls once hiding escape routes from the oppressive regime.
Today cafes, restaurants, museums and shops line the cobbled lanes, drawing in tourists and locals alike to enjoy the al fresco dining or simply to watch the world drift by.
