Plovdiv Vacation Guide

Plovdiv is the second biggest Bulgarian city, placed in the middle of the country on the banks of the Maritsav River. It can trace its history back for millennia and there are old roman ruins around the town most notably a large amphitheatre.

The old part of town got steep cobblestone streets and in parts of the old town is a marvellous view over the entire area. The rest of town is dominated by several hills where the locals hang out. Tourist who makes the effort to walk up some of the hills will be rewarded by spectacular views across town.

Plovdiv can serve as a base for explorations in the surrounding area where several old monasteries and churches are in the mountains. Also hiking trips is an option.
