travle to bansko

whats the roads/busses like from the airport to bansko.

also what is the town like, is it a building site still or is it better

re: travle to bansko

Roads, more like donkey tracks at times. Oh yes the whole town is one big building site, do not take standard shoes, complete lack of pavements and potholes big enough to swallow you up.

re: travle to bansko

right thanks, i wont be taking my best shoes then! do you know how long it takes from Sofia to bansko

re: travle to bansko

should only take 3 / 3.5hrs it all depends on the snow fall and which way the coach has to go. Also there are no toilets on these so a couple of stops in garages as well.

re: travle to bansko

right ok, could be worse

re: travle to bansko

i wouldnt say the whole place is a building site, there is a lot of builging going on but to never bothered us in anyway. there is a lack of pavements but that has nothing to do with the building, I always take walking boots with me as it is hard to see the paths ect when it snows no matter where you are. the town centre is not a building site and seems quiet old style but again paths arnt great. have a good time

re: travle to bansko

Actually the road is really good most of the way - it is international road to Greece.Travelling with my 10 yr old daughter, I was expecting it to be a horrendous jounery but was fine - comfy coach,played a DVD on the way there and back which passed the time.Stops are fine not too long but enough to stretch legs ,get supplies,etc.

re: travle to bansko

grate, that sounds ok, when you stop is did you find there was ok food to buy

re: travle to bansko

Mostly snacks,crisps choc etc.I think the stop on the way back had proper food but I was saving myself for the delightful airline meal

re: travle to bansko

ummm.... well hopefully i can find something as we are going up at night
