Rreth
Fakte të shpejta: Nearly 300 authentic 18th and 19th-century houses with painted wooden balconies line cobbled streets here. The town hosts the annual Bansko Jazz Festival attracting 10,000 music lovers each summer.
Pikat kryesore: Stone bridges crossing narrow rivers create picture-perfect scenes, with some bridges built by master craftsmen according to centuries-old methods. A unique tradition called 'kukeri' features locals wearing colorful costumes and masks to chase away evil spirits every winter.
