Tour description
Plovdiv is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Europe, a Bulgarian gem where a magnificent Roman theatre, an Ottoman old town and colourful National Revival houses climb over ancient hills. A European Capital of Culture, it blends millennia of history with a lively arts scene. On this walking tour a local guide reveals its layers.
You will stroll the lively main street, climb into the cobbled old town of painted houses, and stand in the astonishing Roman theatre still used today. Along the way you will hear about Thracians, Romans, Ottomans and the Bulgarian revival. Ancient and charming, Plovdiv is a wonderful city to explore on foot.
