2025 Borovets Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

#valentinescape #spa #mountainview #borovets #bulgaria #love #poolview Here are some photos from our spa day in the Bulgarian mountains ⛰️ 😀 😍 This place is rather unique in design and definitely worth a photo. Relaxation pods are built in the wall and they are so comfortable! They are even equipped with a reading light, should you decide to take a book with you.

#newyearadventure #tripblazers #mountainview #bulgaria #borovets The resort is accessible by car/coach only. However, most people tend to fly in to Sofia Airport and then either rent a car or get a private taxi to their hotel in Borovets. Alternatively, if you prefer to drive, you can comfortably drive all the way to Borovets from wherever you call home. There are also public transport options once you are in Sofia, such as direct or indirect (via Samokov) coaches to Borovets.

#newyearadventure #tripblazers #bulgaria #borovets #mountainview Situated on the terrace of the Rila Hotel, The Terrace Lounge is an excellent place to enjoy a lunch whilst baskin in the sun and watching skiers go down the slopes. The menu is varied and hosts international dishes and some Bulgarian items. Prices are slightly more peppered, however given the view – does it really matter? We suggest you sit outside, they have both heated areas and non heated tables and enjoy the sun whilst sipping on your hot cocoa.

#newyearadventure #mountainview #tripblazers #borovets #bulgaria Started the new year at a new place - Borovets. Borovets is situated on the northern side of Rila Mountain and boasts a perfect location right at the foot of Mount Musala (2925 metres) the highest peak on the Balkans. It is the oldest ski resort in Bulgaria and was originally set to be the hunting place for Bulgarian Kings in the late 19th century.

We attempted the highest peak in Bulgaria - Musala Peak. We were so close but the 600m icey path stood in the way of eternal glory. Would 100% recommend the walk to the Musala Hut. From the top station of the Gondola, follow the Musala Peak trail until you reach the hut. There you can have a hot drink or some light snacks (self-service, just leave money and get what you like). The trail to the hut is easy and you can go there with kids. After the hut it is sooooo difficult! #bulgaria #mountainview #borovets #nationalpark

#restaurant #food #borovets #bulgaria #skitrip The Green King where mehana meets English Pub is a good place to sit down for a nice hearty meal. The owner and staff are simply delightful and strive to make your dining experience ever so more comfortable. The interior looks very welcoming and the fireplace is simply mesmerizing. We tried the bean soup which was hearty and good followed by the local stew with baked potatoes. The portions were a true feast and we were simply left full and happy.
