Description
The phrase “You must see Plovdiv to see Bulgaria!” truly describes this experience, 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 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.
Take a guided tour of the Old Town of Plovdiv, where art, culture, and history collide to create an unforgettable experience.
An English-speaking guide will accompany you throughout the day. The guide will point out the region's most interesting architectural and cultural treasures and provide commentary on modern life in Bulgaria.
The tour is offered as well with an ONLINE, cloud-based audioguide in different languages (English, Spanish, Italian, French, German, and Russian). Interenet connection is required to use it.
