Located in the heart of the Razlog Valley between Rila and Pirin, it was the commercial and spiritual center of the region. Renamed many times — also known as Mecho Lyube — today it hosts a Municipal Administration with a rich past and a vibrant present.

The city with a different face every month of the year
When the snow recedes from the hills, the Razlog Valley awakens to fresh mountain air and blooming gardens. Spring is the perfect time for walks along the Glazne Valley, visiting the historical museum and exploring the authentic old quarter. Local markets are filled with early vegetables and mountain herbs.
SPRING REASON →Summer turns Razlog into a quiet and cozy mountain retreat. A few kilometers away are the hot mineral springs of Banya, and further up in Pirin the majestic peaks of Yalovarnika and Polezhan await. The ideal base for day trips to Bansko, Dobrinishte and the Rila and Pirin national parks.
SUMMER BREAK →Autumn paints the beech forests around Razlog in a warm palette of gold and ochre. The tranquility of the season attracts photographers, mountaineers and lovers of silence. Local taverns offer succulent dishes of freshly picked mushrooms, and the air is filled with the aroma of smoky smokehouse and fresh grapes.
AUTUMN REASON →8 km from the ski resort of Bansko, Razlog offers a peaceful alternative for a winter holiday with lower prices and fewer tourists.
