The Essential Guide to Bansko

It’s now out. Ready for free download. It’s the new Essential Guide to Bansko ebook.

Like many Bansko businesses, here at Bansko Blog I receive emails from both regular and new Bansko visitors wanting to know Bansko tourist information. Quite rightly this is needed BEFORE booking, and certainly before traveling to Bulgaria.

============================================

“Just wanted to say I love the PDF Guide and very much look forward to trying a few more of the recommendations.” – Luverne Ford

============================================

It has become clear to me, and to others working in Bansko, that the questions we receive from potential visitors are often the same. For all of us. From apartment owners, hotel and chalet owners and managers we spend a lot of time answering the same Bansko, and Bulgaria, questions.

It was this experience that prompted me to expand the ski hire, lessons, lift passes and transfers FAQ’s. early in the ski season. I noticed the impact immediately. More informed clients, and fewer email questions for me to answer.

It was from one large property owner that the idea, and the motivation, to rewrite the guide came from. Then the main sponsorship from Bansko Royal Towers has helped extend the guide. Full rights are granted to all to forward the pdf guide to friends/owners interested in Bansko.

In my opinion

The 34 page ebook includes:

• getting there
• transfers
• currency
• shopping
• going out
• emergency numbers
• events in Bansko
• events in Sofia
• activities and more

The guide is not meant to be totally exhaustive. It can’t be — as I only talk about things I have either tried and enjoyed.

If I have not experienced a place, then I have mentioned the info if I have received unanimous positive opinions from others. But it’s mainly about what I see and hear. The restaurant listings is therefore personal to me. There are over 200 mehanas (traditional Bulgarian restaurants) in Bansko, and many of these change ownership each year so expect to read only a selection what receive consistently high praise.

If any of your favourite places are missing, then email me your top tips. I’ll go and taste and, if I like, they will be included in the next update.

Expect more places to be added to the Zavedenia interactive map on the iphone / ipad / ipod touch app over the coming months.

Over 34 pages with a clickable index of topics. Jump to the topics you want to read with ease.

Expect to see info on driving to Bansko, emergency numbers, entertainment places covering a wide range of tastes and markets — from summer off road motorbiking and the Opera festival to gentleman’s clubs and gambling and gaming. Although on the last point I would suggest better value comes from online party gaming sites rather than the slot machines that profess to be “casinos”.

I wonder if this will change in time.

In the guide you will also see links to relevant Bansko articles which have been featured here on Bansko Blog.

If I have not experienced a place, then I have mentioned the info if I have received unanimous positive opinions from others. But it’s mainly about what I see and hear. For example,  the restaurant listings is therefore personal to me. Bear in mind I am not a huge fan of loud gypsy band music, There are 200+ mehanas (traditional Bulgarian restaurants) and many of these change ownership each year.

Where you favourites are missing then email me your reliable regular spots. I’ll go and taste and, if I like, they will be included in the next update.

Expect more places to be added to the Zavedenia interactive map on the iphone / ipad / ipod touch app over the summer months.

Over 34 pages with a clickable index of topics. Jump to the topics you want to read with ease.

Expect to see info on driving to Bansko, emergency numbers, entertainment places covering a wide range of tastes and markets — from summer off road motorbiking and the Opera festival to gentleman’s clubs and gambling and gaming. Although on the last point I would suggest better value comes from online party gaming sites rather than the slot machines that profess to be “casinos”.

I wonder if this will change in time.

A work in progress

Things are changing all the time. From year to year and from season to season — both winter and summer. So to ensure the guide is future proofed it is available only as a free downloadable ebook. With updates being sent out as time goes on.

All that’s needed to received the guide and all future updates, is to put your name and email in the sign up box oin the right hand column.

Tips of the day

• NEW: lower transfer prices. Book online here. click on inmage on right hand side column.
• Book next year’s flights now. Save money on peak season flights.
• For Bansko accommodation deals for both the rest of this season and next take a look at http://www.villasinbulgaria.co.uk/bansko/. Some nice summer deals too.

It’s now out. Ready for free download. It’s the new Essential Gude to Bansko ebook.

Like many Bansko businesses, here at Bansko Blog I receive emails from both regular and new Bansko visitors wanting to know Bansko tourist information. Quite rightly this is needed BEFORE booking, and certainly before traveling to Bulgaria.

It has become clear to me, and to many others working in Bansko, that the questions we receive are often the same. For all of us. From apartment owners, hotel and chalet owners and managers we spend a lot of time answering the same Bansko, and Bulgaria, questions.

It was this experience that prompted me to expand the ski hire, lessons, lift passes and transfers FAQ’s. early in the ski season. I noticed the impact immediately. More informed clients, and fewer email questions for me to answer.

It was from one large property owner that the idea, and the motivation, to rewrite the guide came from. Then the main sponsorship from Bansko Royal Towers has helped extend the guide. Full rights are granted to forward the guide to friends interested in Bansko.

In my opinion

The 34 page ebook covers topics, for example:

• getting there
• transfers
• currency
• shopping
• going out
• emergency numbers
• events in Bansko
• events in Sofia
• activities and more

The guide is not meant to be totally exhaustive. It can’t be — as I only talk about things I have either tried and enjoyed.
