Razlog tourist info and hotels

Razlog is situated in the beautiful Razlog Valley, encircled by 3 majestic mountains - Pirin to the south, the Rhodopes Mountain to the east and Rila to the north. The town of Razlog is situated on 155 kilometers from the Bulgarian capital - Sofia.
Two Thracian tribes (“dii” and “satri”) were the first to inhabit the area of the town, which was included in the territory of the Bulgarian Kingdom during the rule of Khan Pressian in 847.

A great attraction, especially for foreign tourists are the houses in Razlog, in the so called Razlog-Chepino architectural style that was very popular during the Bulgarian Renaissance.
