Dolna Banya is a resort town, known for its hot mineral waters, with temperatures of 56.3 C. The area surrounding the town is largely agricultural, and there are skiing and hiking trails in the nearby mountains.

The inside of the town's Bulgarian Orthodox church is covered in murals, and the churchyard located next to a stream.

However, buses run more frequently from Sofia to Kostenets (8 km from Dolna Banya).

[needs update] It is expected to be the only golf course in Eastern Europe to meet PGA standards.

The core of the current edifice was built in 1879, shortly after the Liberation of Bulgaria, and was later expanded as the number of classes grew.
