Sense Hotel Rooftop Bar

i think the seating can be a bit hit or miss. if you want a specific spot with a view, don't hesitate to ask the staff - they’re really friendly and accommodating!

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.
Bansko Gondola Ski Lift

Check out the local ski rental shops instead of renting at the gondola. They often have better prices and a good variety of gear, plus you'll avoid long lines.

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.
XS Tower Sky Bar

I think you should try to snag a window seat if you can. It gets busy and I missed out on a perfect view because I arrived just a bit too late

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.
Kitchen59

I recommend getting there just before sunset around 6:30 PM. The views of Sofia are absolutely amazing as the lights come on, plus it’s less crowded
Tower Razlog

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.
The Scene Rooftop Bar & Terrace

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.
At the Eagles
Platinum Casino

My advice is to sign up for their loyalty program if you're planning to stay a while. I didn't, and missed out on some free drinks and bonuses.

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!
