Bulgaria might not be on the top of your list of countries you’d love to see, but when it comes to travel, thinking outside the box can really pay off. That is the case with Borovets, a popular Bulgarian ski-resort situated on the northern slopes of the Rila Mountains, only 45 miles south of the capital Sofia and even closer to the main airport.  

Whether it’s the summer or winter, tourists flock to Borovets to enjoy its beautiful nature and superb facilities.

Being the country’s oldest ski resort, the town is the initial point for climbing Mount Musala (9,596ft) and as such it fuses deep history with new and modern lifestyle. 

More and more tourists come to Borovets every year, and it’s not just for the amazing ski slopes. Incredible views of the mountainside, pools, spas, all you can eat buffets with delicious homemade food? Consider it done.

The city center is tiny, yet it will charm you and satisfy all of your needs. You can check out some of the museums, or go shopping for local, homemade honey and olive oil, among many other things.
