Plovdiv

The phrase “you must see Plovdiv to see Bulgaria!” is absolutely true, and there is so much to explore in the country’s second-biggest city. Plovdiv (160 m a.s.l.), a 2-hour drive from Sofia, is situated in the western part of the fertile Thracian Valley. It is also one of the oldest European towns contemporary to Troy and Mycenae. With about a 2-hour walking tour, you will learn about its intriguing history while exploring the charming historic quarter of the city – a fabulous architectural ensemble of beautifully decorated 19th-century houses, the ancient fortress walls, magnificent churches, and Roman structures like the 7000 seater theatre and 30,000 seater stadium.
