Local wellness tip

If you find yourself near Velingrad, Bulgaria’s self-proclaimed spa capital, try visiting one of the local public baths like the Teddy Thermal Spa. It’s a favorite among locals and travelers alike because it offers quality mineral water treatments at reasonable prices. Visit in late April or October, when the crowds thin out and the town feels more relaxed. You can enjoy the warm pools heated naturally by the springs, and afterward stop by a nearby cafe in Kamenitsa neighbourhood for a strong Bulgarian coffee. This approach gives you a real feel for Bulgarian wellness culture beyond just the resort experience.
