Car rental in Bansko

The quickest and easiest way to rent a car in Bansko

Bansko is a small, picturesque town at the foot of the Pirin Mountain. It was built in the 10th century on an ancient Thracian settlement. The resort became a wealthy town in the 18th century, thanks to its good geographical location - on the route of trade caravans traveling from the Aegean Sea to the Danube. Bansko became a centre of craftsmen and merchants. It is located 56 km from Blagoevgrad, 145 km from Plovdiv and 150 km from the capital Sofia, about 2 and a half hours away by car rental from Car2GO Rent A Car.

Bansko is famous for its cultural and historical heritage (there are approximately 120 monuments of culture) and for being the best Bulgarian ski resort. Pirin Mountain is a very popular place for recreation and vacation because of its beautiful peaks, the highest of which is Vihren, the many lakes, caves and waterfalls, beautiful pine forests. The ski resort, which is the largest in the country, started to gain popularity in the last ten years when foreign investors decided to develop the "gateway to Pirin" into a ski resort because of the long snow season - from December to May. During the winter season, tourists from Bulgaria, England, Russia, Israel and Germany flock to Bansko to ski, have fun or just take a walk in the snow resort. This is the reason why Bansko offers many hotels, from luxury ones, one of which is even five-star, to small family hotels and apartments for rent or for sale.
