Description

The phrase “You must see Plovdiv to see Bulgaria!” truly captures the essence of experiencing Europe’s oldest continually inhabited city. Located just a comfortable 2-hour drive from Sofia, Plovdiv (160m a.s.l.) invites you on a journey through time. This city is a contemporary of Troy and Mycenae, its history a living legend waiting to be explored. During our two-hour walking tour, you will immerse yourself in the unforgettable atmosphere of the Old Town. We will cover all the city’s top attractions—from the beautifully decorated National Revival period houses and ancient fortress walls to magnificent Roman structures, including the impressive Ancient Theatre (a 7,000-seater venue) and the Roman Stadium. After covering the history and culture, you will have ample free time to soak up the city at your own pace. Dive into the creative vibe of the Kapana art district, sample local cuisine, or simply relax with a coffee on the main pedestrian street. Your expert guide will accompany you throughout the day, ensuring a smooth and comfortable transfer, along with insightful commentary on all architectural and cultural treasures. For your convenience, we also offer an ONLINE, cloud-based audio guide available in multiple languages (English, Spanish, Italian, French, German, and Russian). This tour is the perfect blend of an organized, informative journey and a personal, authentic immersion into the spirit of Plovdiv.
