Here’s a little about what awaits you in Plovdiv.

Plovdiv: A Beautiful Melange of Past and Present

What makes Plovdiv stand out among many European cities is its ability to retain its historical charm while making room for modern influences. With a history spanning over six millennia, Plovdiv is a treasure trove of cultural and architectural marvels, earning it a rightful place as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Old Town, a maze of winding cobbled streets flanked by beautifully preserved Renaissance houses, whispers tales from a bygone era. Yet, turn a corner and you might find yourself in Kapana, the city’s thriving arts district, bursting with modern street art, hip cafes, and art galleries.

Delve into Plovdiv’s Rich History

Plovdiv’s storied past is visible at every turn. One of the must-visit places is the Ancient Theatre, an impressive open-air theatre dating back to the 2nd century AD, that is still in use for concerts and festivals.

The Roman Stadium, another relic from the past, lies largely hidden beneath the city’s main street, with only a small portion visible. A guided tour can take you underneath to explore this architectural wonder, once the site of gladiatorial and athletic games for up to 30,000 spectators.

Close by is the Djumaya Mosque, one of the oldest Ottoman religious buildings on the Balkan Peninsula, a testament to the city’s diverse cultural influences.

Embrace the Modern Vibe

Equally captivating is Plovdiv’s vibrant contemporary scene. Spend an afternoon exploring the Kapana district, a haven for creative souls. The labyrinth of streets is packed with boutique shops selling unique handmade crafts, small art galleries showcasing local talent, and trendy cafes serving Bulgarian craft beers and gourmet bites.

As night falls, Plovdiv comes alive with a bustling nightlife. From laid-back bars and beer gardens to vibrant nightclubs, there’s something for every mood and preference.
