Top Passive Leisure in Bulgaria

I suggest arriving right at sunset – around 7 PM in summer – for an epic view as the city lights up. The colors are unbelievable and it’s when the crowd is still manageable.

My advice is to check the weather beforehand. I went on a cloudy day and missed out on the amazing views! Clear days make all the difference, so plan accordingly.

Try to ride the gondola before 9 AM. The lines get long quickly after that, and it's way more peaceful to be one of the first up the mountain.

If you're planning to ski, get your lift pass the night before from the ticket office to skip the morning rush. It saves time and you can get to the slopes faster!

If you're using a card for payment at the gondola, make sure it’s contactless. Some reviews mentioned it can be hit or miss with cash and card transactions at the ticket offices.

After skiing, check out the hot springs just outside of Bansko. It's a relaxing way to end the day, and not too expensive. A perfect option if you're feeling sore!

I recommend getting there around sunset, like 7 PM, for the best views. You catch the beautiful city transitioning from day to night, plus it makes for stunning photos!

I suggest keeping an eye on the weather before you visit. I went on a cloudy day, and I regret not waiting for clearer skies to really enjoy the panorama.

I suggest visiting Tower Razlog early in the morning, around 8 AM. The views are stunning and you’ll avoid the crowds, making it a more peaceful experience.

Make sure to get there around sunset. The views are absolutely stunning as the city lights start to twinkle! Just don’t forget your camera, the pics are worth it.

My advice is to check the weather before you go. If it’s windy or rainy, consider calling ahead to see if they’ll be open. It was a bummer to be there and they were closed due to weather!

I suggest ordering a few small plates to share with friends. They’re fun to try and way better value than just going for drinks! Also, don't skip the local cocktails – they're a treat.

I recommend checking out their food options before you start gambling. I had a great burger there, but it took a while to arrive, so plan your meal!
