re: cost of booze

Can be just as much if you use the tourist or mountain bars!

Find a local bulgarian place and get to know people by being friendly and trying to join in and you'll drink very cheaply!!!

re: cost of booze

Beer in the Town ranges from 0.8 lev up to 3 lev with most in the 1.5-2.5lev range.

I tend to go for the prininski beer its much cheaper and very very local to Bansko normally I pay 0.8-1.5 lev for a 500ml beer of that stuff.

If you go for Stella sure 5 lev for you - just like any resort where its imported.

If youhave a beer on the slopes it will be 5 lev 500ml which is a fair price IMHO go to the dolomites and it is 6 Euros min in the town while up the mountain it gets scary 9/12 ...
