Bansko, Mountain resort municipality in southwestern Bulgaria.

Bansko stands at the northern foot of Pirin Mountain, stretching across diverse terrain with elevations reaching 925 meters above sea level.

The settlement evolved from a merchant community in medieval times to become a significant trade center during the Bulgarian Renaissance period.

The Holy Trinity Church, constructed in 1835, represents traditional Bulgarian architecture and houses religious artifacts from different historical periods.

The ski area provides 75 kilometers of runs with modern lift systems, capable of transporting 24,500 people per hour to various slopes.

The narrow-gauge Septemvri-Dobrinishte railway line connects Bansko to major Bulgarian cities through mountain passages and valleys.
