Bansko is one of the oldest settlements in the foothills of Pirin Mountain. You can stroll around the narrow cobbled streets and enjoy the charming old-fashioned ambience of the traditional stone buildings.

Built during the 18th century, the House of Velyan is a national cultural heritage. The building has impressive frescoes and wood-carved ceilings.

Neofit Rilski is a prominent figure in the Bulgarian Renaissance. He is the founder of the Bulgarian secular education and the first Bulgarian encyclopedist. His house from the 18th century is turned into a museum to show the traditional architecture of Bansko.

Radonova house is now a historical and ethnographic museum. Built in the 19th century, the house hosts a rich exposition of materials following the development of Bansko from its origins to the liberation in 1912. The ethnographic exhibition shows the lifestyle of Bansko people during that period.
