With this being our last student year together (snif snif), we decided to visit a place that we have all wanted to go to for a while now! Sooo, after gathering up (we're quite a crowd) we finally got to visiting Bansko ski resort. Bansko, or to be correct Банско is a little village of Bulgaria located at the foot of the Pirin Mountains and is a very popular ski resort.
Now none of us is an excellent skier, especially me, (being clumsy doesn't really help with sports!) so the trip was mostly to get into the winter-y feeling and fool around in the snow. The first piece of advice i can give you is to actually visit Bansko in winter time!!
Whether you are visiting Bansko with friends or with someone special you;re bound to have a good time. Don't forget Bansko is not just about skiing, so if you're not into that don't worry there are a lot of things you can do. My suggestions would be :
- Walk around the village and visit all the little shops that practically sell everything!
- Have a meal at any traditional restaurant.
- Go out at night, the village center is full of pubs and bars.
- Take the ride up the mountain with the Lift, even if you do not ski the view to the top is breathtaking!
- If you're not brave enough to ski try fooling around with sleighs, we had a good laugh with them!
- Last but not least make sure to have fun!
A big thank you to my friends for making this trip something to remember!
Until next time sending love and wishing happy travels! xxx
