Thermal Spa Meets Historic Monuments

In the far west of Bulgaria, Kyustendil lets you travel in time through its rich Roman past. Here thermal baths sit among historic monuments and wide mountain ranges, in a town whose mineral waters have been valued since antiquity.

The Romans called the settlement Pautalia and developed extensive baths around its hot springs. Today Kyustendil blends that ancient bathing heritage with the natural beauty of the surrounding hills and orchards.
