Things to do nearby
Bansko built its nomad reputation on rock-bottom cost of living for the EU, a ski season followed by summer hiking in Pirin National Park, and one of the longest-running coliving communities in Europe.
Old Town — cobblestone streets, cheap local food, nomad-fest hub in summer
Gondola area — closer to ski slopes, more hotels, quieter off-season
Central Bansko — main coworking spaces, restaurants, central for daily errands
Getting around
Bansko's center is walkable; no train service, so a car or taxi covers trips to the gondola area or Sofia; airport transfer to Sofia is about 2 hours by car or shuttle.

About
Pangea's four-week coworking chapter in Bansko, in Bulgaria's Pirin mountains. It starts as Bansko Nomad Fest 2027 (June 20–27) ends. Accommodation not included — book separately (Pangea helps you find a place). The pass covers the community side: events and dinners, a local host and orientation, and a WhatsApp group. A coworking space isn't included either; Pangea points you to the best spots. Confirmed to run. Registration is on Luma, and the host approves each application. Disclosure: Caroline Lupini, who runs colivingDB, is part of the Pangea team.
