We loved Bar 360 when it was happy hour (3pm - 6pm) everyday. Chris the resident DJ really makes it fun and gets the crowd involved. Happy Hour you can get 2 Bulgarian Beers for 5 Lev. It's right in the heart of the Winter Market where you can get lots of yummy things to eat for not very much Lev. Definitely worth a visit. Looking forward to visiting again next year.

With skiing a write off due to bad weather we had a few hours to spare so decided to try the escape rooms. What a good idea, we had great fun. We did the hacker which was very hard, but with a few clues along the way managed to escape with 2 minutes to spare. Great fun! Worth a go.

This summer I was very fortunate to have a number of physiotherapy sessions with Elena to address joint stiffness and posture. The sessions were thorough and helped me get to the root causes as well as learn what daily ongoing routine will support me. I really appreciate Elena’s expertise, her soothing vibes, as well as the great teaching in her aerial yoga classes, which showed me how powerful this approach is for stretching and toning. It’s a fun workout. By my second class I was able to hang upside down, which provides amazing relief to the neck muscles. I highly recommend Elena!

9. Velyanova House
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 24 reviews
Reviewed By EuropeanAnnie - Greater London, United Kingdom
We decided to visit Velyanova House following some excellent reviews on TripAdvisor, and yes, I can safely say it is worth the entrance fee of 3 leva per person! Built in the second half of 18th century, this is a typical Bansko house with its beautiful murals and wooden carvings. Hidden underground passages and little nooks and crannies seem to have been its characteristic features, although you cannot actually see any of these. Only the first floor is open to visitors, where you can see traditional rooms - sitting rooms, bedroom, etc. We were told that the ground floor is converted into some storage rooms, a workshop with a weaving loom and a conference room and none of these were open to the public at the time we visited. Advice: there is a talk in English which you can ask for, whilst you are wondering around, it will provide some more insight into the history of the house and background information on life in Bansko during those times. We loved "the blue room", specifically designed for Velyan's wife, imagining how it perhaps provided cosy and calm sanctuary, respite from her busy day. The front garden is beautiful, with flowers and herbs, and a well prominently featured in the garden. The house is not well sign posted, we found it following our GPS navigator.
