The complex

Worldschooling Bansko 2023 will take place in our community complex. This is where most of the Worldschooling Bansko families will be staying, and where the activities will be held. The complex has 4 apartment buildings which we will be filling up for a large part. We have the availability of a number of community spaces that allows us to assign a community space for all the activities, coworking, social gatherings, and hang outs. The gated complex has an outside play area for the kids to enjoy. The complex is surrounded by nature, 500 meters from the city centre, and 1.5km away from the gondola.

The apartments Main complex

At the main complex there are a number of studio apartments in different sizes available for the families. This allows you to have your private time with your family, while in the heart of the community. All apartments have full kitchens, allowing you to cook your own meals. The apartments are private owned and are all equipped differently. They all have one main bed, which can be a double bed, or two single beds. Some apartments have washing machines, there are also shared washing machines in the building. The apartments have full bathrooms, some come with a bathtub. Every apartment has Wi-Fi. We tested 19.3 download, 7.6 upload, and 11 ping. Please note that the Wi-Fi in Bansko can be unstable. If you rely on good internet, we recommend using phone data, which is cheap and more stable. The apartments are equipped with basic cleaning equipment, but do not provide any condiments, detergents, etc.
