How to reach Bulgaria's hot springs

Sofia is the gateway; Velingrad, Hisarya and Sandanski are 1.5–3 hours by bus or car. The country is compact — a week covers the classic circuit easily.

Where Bulgaria's springs cluster

Velingrad — The spa capital: dozens of mineral springs, public baths and hotel pools.
Sandanski — The warmest town in Bulgaria, in the Pirin foothills near Greece.
Hisarya & Devin — Roman-walled Hisarya and Devin's Rhodope mountain springs.

Best time to visit

Year-round — the springs don't care about seasons. Spring and autumn are ideal for combining with hiking in the Rila and Pirin mountains.

Good to know

Bulgaria is astonishingly affordable: hotel thermal pools, full spa days and excellent food for a fraction of Western prices. Drinking the mineral water is part of the culture — you'll see locals filling bottles at public fountains.
