    Our guide

    Bansko is Bulgaria's leading ski resort, hosting many Israeli travelers each winter season - with a kosher restaurant and synagogue inside one of the town's hotels.

    Stay in the kosher area of Bansko

    Bansko does not have one obvious Jewish quarter. Platinum Hotel and Casino Bansko (hotel listed on the site) is the anchor - book a hotel within walking distance of it rather than picking a random part of Bansko.

    To count as a booking, finish it in the same window after you click - it isn't saved for tomorrow.
