You've probably arrived here because you're looking for information on a forthcoming holiday in Bansko, or are planning a trip and are wondering how to get the best deal.

The popularity of Bansko as a holiday resort has increased rapidly in the last few years and it is UK residents who largely seem to be driving the demand to holiday in Bansko. There are a number of reasons for this trend and it's fair to say that most of those looking to spend their holiday in Bansko are intending to visit the Bulgarian resort for the winter skiing rather than for summer activities.

This might be viewed as being somewhat unfortunate, as Bansko consists of a fine old town and many local attractions, not least the nature reserves and growing array of golf courses.

Nevertheless, it's hardly surprising that Bansko has made its name as a ski resort. The local authorities have ploughed large sums of money into developing what is now the largest and most popular ski resort in Bulgaria.

The improvement in on piste facilities has been mirrored by improvements in local infrastructure, with overseas development companies moving in to build new hotels and apartment blocks. Such developments have brought improvements to the area but, as ever, tourism seems to be a double-edged sword. It's undoubtedly the case that Bansko is no longer as tranquil as it once was.

If you're looking for good deals on accommodation then the best advice that we can give is to investigate thoroughly, particularly when it comes to looking at the location of where you'll be staying. The town is quite distinct from the ski resort, meaning that there's a walk between the two.

You'll usually have to decide between a hotel or apartment close to the gondola stations (ensuring that you don't have to walk far in heavy ski boots), or alternatively in town (meaning that you're close to the apres ski action). If you choose the latter then you will find that a number of hotels run regular bus services to the gondola stations.
