Kyustendil, Municipality and oblast seat in Southwestern Bulgaria
The city stands at 560 meters elevation near the borders of Serbia and North Macedonia, with a population of 37,799 inhabitants in the urban area.
During the Roman era, the settlement flourished as Pautalia, later changing control between Byzantine Empire, Bulgaria, and Serbia before Ottoman annexation in 1395.
The name derives from Kösten, a Serbian magnate, and the city maintains Orthodox Christian religious establishments reflecting its former status as a bishopric.
The city connects to major Bulgarian destinations through local roads and public transport, offering accommodations from guesthouses to hotels near natural attractions.
Over 40 mineral springs in the area provide natural therapeutic resources, establishing Kyustendil as a national center for balneological treatments.
