Today municipality of Bansko includes the town of Bansko and seven small villages governed by their own mayors with a total area of 462 sq km located at about 1000m altitude. The atmosphere of the Bulgarian National Revival has still been preserved here, cobbled streets, stone houses with wood-carved ceilings and painted walls, lovely yards, hidden behind thick surrounding walls. Today Bansko has the statute of a unique town announced by UNESCO and the mountain is one of the most attractive centers for skiers and tourists throughout the whole year.

Now Bansko has been developing fast and a lot of new residential buildings, hotels and administrative centers have been constructed and all of them are strictly keeping this architectural style which is typical for the Alpine towns and characterized with prevailing woodwork and stonework on the facades. The snow magic of the Pirin Mountain in winter attracts the winter sports fans and makes Bansko be one of the best ski resorts in Europe.
