American University in Bulgaria is the landmark that gives this page its name, a university in Blagoevgrad whose students and visitors keep the city's cultural calendar busy. The city itself sits among the uplands towards the Rila and Pirin mountains, with Bachinovo Park just south of the centre along the Bistritsa, so a stay here doubles as a base for walking, spa and outdoor trips. Theatres, museums, sports facilities and a steady run of student and cultural events fill the centre, while the Struma motorway corridor nearby links the area with the Aegean coast and the interior of the country. Arriving is mostly by road or rail: intercity buses connect Blagoevgrad with other Bulgarian towns and further afield, the bus station sits on the edge of the centre, and trains on the regional line serve a station south of the city centre.
