Insider tip — Kyustendil has been a thermal city since Roman times when it was known as Pautalia, and ancient bathhouse ruins still visible in the town center testify to centuries of uninterrupted spa culture. The springs emerge at up to 75°C and are cooled for a deeply soothing soak in the many establishments that line the main boulevard. The surrounding Vlahina and Osogovo mountain ranges offer excellent hiking that pairs naturally with a restorative afternoon in the baths.
