Borvets v Bansko

Hi!!!

I've been to Borovets for the pass three years but fancy a change this year and might try Bansko! What is the nightlife like there compared to Boro? Is the snow normally as good?

Thanks!!

night life is no were near as good in bansko.
The bars are few and far between and less lively.
Did find a few busy bars but very spread out bansko is a quite a large town were as borovets has everything in one street.

We tried Bansko last year after 4 years at boverets, the
sking is better but night life is not great. You have to get the gondola to ski. Our hotel in Bansko was 5 mins from slopes but there was no snow
by hotel going back to Rila at Boverets this year!

re: Borvets v Bansko

Where have you stayed Kevin, from my experience the rila is better then the samakov but the iglik is my first choice nice and small and personal.

I've stayed in the Samokov twice and the flora, both were okay but it depends what I deal I can get.

Is Balkan Holidays usually the cheapest?
