Nope, not like Boro at all Wink
Bars that are in close proximity are generally expensive... Happy End is opposite gondola, on happy hour, 3lv a pint, but happy hour ends 16.30... Good bet is the 'cave bar' on the ski road, local prices, local food... most of the other bars on the mountain are 7lv a pint, expensive (by BG standards) food... The town however has some cheaper places, the 'log house' is great value, some mehanas lower in the old town are great value as well. Bars for atmosphere, ...

Bansko is a proper town with around 5000 inhabitants, it is spread out... but the bulk of the touristy places are the top of town

Transfer costs normally based on number of passengers... 1-3, 75E 3-6, 95E 7-8 115E... that is eachway... you will find slightly cheaper, but beware Wink
Most accommodation is within walking distance of gondola, and if not will have courtesy bus. At the moment all runs open, but coverage is shallow, it is being topped up every night by snow cannons... Resort now slightly quieter after Bulgarian childrens holiday, but Romanians will be here till the weekend. 3rd march will be no issue ...

Recommending hotels is a difficult one as everyone has different ideas... try Bansko Royal Towers, Regnum, Cedar Lodge (all facing gondola)

As a footnote.... im confident we will have fresh snow before March.... there, i have said it Very Happy
