Belitsa is close to the municipalities of [[Razlog Municipality|Razlog]], [[Yakoruda Municipality|Yakoruda]], and [[Bansko Municipality|Bansko]]. The municipality of Belinitsa is situated in the northeastern part of the [[Razlog Valley]] in the Blagoevgrad region, in the [[Dale (landform)|dale]] of the river [[Nestos (river)|Mesta]], in between the southern slopes of Eastern [[Rila]] and the northern slopes of the Beliyshko-Videnishki part of the western [[Rhodope Mountains|Rhodopes]].

It contains twelve settlements, eight of which are scattered in the mountainous area of the Rhodopes. The municipal centre, Belitsa, is located in the southern part of the Rila mountains and is connected to the Razlog-Velingrad route (with international [[European route E79|E79]] and [[European route E80|E80]]) but off to the side by four kilometres. This makes for easy transportation from the town to [[Sofia]] (172 kilometres away) and [[Blagoevgrad]] (72 kilometres away).
