Velingrad Hostels

Velingrad, one of the best spa resorts in Bulgaria, has built this reputation over the years. Velingrad is worth visiting all year long –- it actually looks different during different seasons but it always has beautiful nature and you can always do beneficial spa procedures there. If you visit Velingrad in the winter, it is recommended that you go to Bansko for two or three days, as well.

Your options for hostels in Velingrad are extremely limited, and it is recommended that you book your dates for the hostel in Velingrad in advance when there is a national holiday, as many people will rush to be in Velingrad at the time. Prices for hostels in Velingrad tend to be low. When staying at your Velingrad hostel, you will be located in the very center of the city on the side of the football stadium. Both the train and bus stations (they are next to each other) are within fifteen minutes walking distance of your chosen Velingrad hostel.

Take advantage of being close to the train station -- do not miss the opportunity to get on the gauge line and go to some of the closer cities like Razlog or Bansko or the villages Banya and Dobriniste. It is only eighty-five kilometers to Plovdiv -- you can get there by train or bus. The train is very slow -– about twenty-five kilometers per hour, but the view is amazing and the wagons are from the 1940s. And the tickets are also very cheap.
