Dolna Banya is a resort town well-known for its hot mineral waters, which reach a temperature of 56.3 degrees Celsius. Although the terrain around the town is mostly agricultural, hiking routes and skiing in adjacent mountains are readily accessible.
Dolna Banya is a tiny town with a vibrant atmosphere. There is a vegetable market, a bakery, and two taverns on the plaza. The inside of the town’s Bulgarian Orthodox church is adorned with stunning paintings, and the graveyard is next to a stream. The local stadium is called Vasil Levski in honor of the Bulgarian statesman who led the country’s independence from the Ottoman Empire, as is the national stadium in Sofia.
Dolna Banya is conveniently accessible by automobile. There is a daily bus service from the Sofia bus terminal to the surrounding communities.
