Parks Places Map
Parks in Blagoevgrad:
Pirin National Park
Get to the park first thing in the morning, around 8 AM, to snag parking and enjoy the trails before they get busy. It's peaceful and the fresh air just feels amazing!
Plan on spending at least a full day there. I rushed my trip thinking I could see everything in half a day but there’s just so much beauty to soak in!
Dancing Bears Park
Razlog Park
I suggest grabbing a snack from local vendors outside the park instead of the cafe inside... It can save you some money, and the local treats are way tasty!
City Park
I suggest grabbing a snack at one of the local kiosks before exploring the park – the prices are way better than in the surrounding cafes, and you can enjoy your food while walking!
I found that visiting in the late afternoon around 5 PM makes for a much calmer experience. You'll avoid the larger crowds and get to enjoy the sunset views!
Don’t skip the little boat rides on the lake! It’s a fun way to relax and take in the scenery, plus it’s pretty affordable. I recommend budgeting some time for that part.
