Top best places to visit in Plovdiv, Bulgaria
Plovdiv is the second largest city in Bulgaria and one of the oldest cities in the world.
Plovdiv has evidence of habitation since the 6th millennium BC. It has historically developed on seven hills and that’s why it is often referred to as the City of the Seven Hills.
The main city plaza is the Central Square. It used to be a Forum Romanum, the center of ancient public life.
Adjacent to the square is the Garden of Tsar Simeon, a beautiful park with gorgeous singing fountains.
The square is connected to the main walking street, known as Glavnata. The pedestrian zone full of shops, galleries, and cafes.
Along this street is the starting point of many guided tours, located just in front of the Municipality Building.
The street leads to two interesting districts. A bohemian quarter full of artists and pubs, the Kapana.
And to the very enjoyable Old Town, which is free of cars in this area with many cobblestone streets and historic houses turned into museums.
Almost every house in the Old Town has its characteristic exterior and interior decoration.
Plovdiv was selected as the European Capital of Culture thanks to its numerous museums, galleries and cultural events.
Plovdiv has been a gathering center for the Orthodox Christians for centuries, so there are several churches worth a visit, such as:
The Virgin Mary Church,
The very impressive St Marina Church with a unique pillar arcade.
And the Church of St Constantine and Helena which is considered to be among the oldest churches in Bulgaria.
Two mosques have remained in the city since the Ottoman era.
The Imarethane Mosque with different, interesting minaret.
And, in the center, the Dzhumaya Mosque.
Next to it, at the end of Glavnata, is the Ancient Stadium from the Roman times.
Plovdiv was known for most of its history by the name Philippopolis. There are many remains from those times, like:
The Roman Odeon.
The Roman Amphitheater, probably the most famous tourist attraction in the city.
The Small Basilica, the ruins of the early Christian church in recently restored building.
The Eastern Gate, one of the three entrances of the ancient city.
The Roman Fortress, with parts of defensive walls, towers and ancient buildings.
From the fort there is a great view of Plovdiv.

Old Town of Plovdiv, Bulgaria
Plovdiv's Old Town is a city within a city and is effectively an open-air museum of Bulgaria's Renaissance Period. Most of the buildings date from the mid to late 19th century and many have been painstakingly restored to their former glory using traditional techniques and materials relying on the works of the local Architect and Historian Hristo D Peev as guides.
Several of the buildings are House Museums whose interiors have been recreated to illustrate the lifestyles of the time. This makes for an interesting wander and even without visiting the museums themselves there are plenty of informative plaques around giving the history and details of individual residences.
Also within the Old Town are the four main sites of the City Gallery of Fine Arts, the Ethnographic Museum (itself a museum piece and former residence of the local notable Argir Kuyumdzhiouglu), several restaurants (including the well-known Hemus) as well as cafes, hotels and souvenir shops.

Plovdiv - Bulgaria
Plovdiv is the second largest city in Bulgaria after Sofia, best known after the largest fairgrounds in the Balkans, Plovdiv Fair, which hosts many important yearly events such as International Technical Fair, International Consumer Goods and Technologies Fair and specialised exhibitions AGRA, VINARIA, MEDICUS, DENTO, GALENIA, PrintCom and Foodtech.
So if Plovdiv is famous as a commercial centre, why would it be attractive for tourists?
Plovdiv is set on the banks of Maritsa River, strategically located at the crossroads of two important traffic corridors. Many nations passed Plovdiv throughout its history: Romans (they founded Trimontium), Turks and of course Bulgarians, and each of them left remarkable traces that can still be admired today.
Plovdiv's main sights include a very well preserved Roman theatre from the 2nd century, large enough to accommodate 3000 people. It is still used during Plovdiv's festivals. And then there is so called Old Town, a part of the town built at the site of the ancient Trimontium, characterised by beautifully preserved Bulgarian houses from the 19th century.
We visited Plovdiv on a day trip from Sofia. It isn't too far; a train journey takes about 2 hours. We were unlucky with the weather. It was rather gloomy, with an occasional raindrop splashing on us from dark, heavy clouds. But we still enjoyed Plovdiv very much, the stroll around the Old Town being one of the highlights.
The houses in Old Town were inspired by the baroque, but their core features remain distinctively Bulgarian. Some of them are transformed into museums, galleries and workshops.
One of the most beautiful houses in the Old Town is The Ethnographic Museum. It is a fine example of the Bulgarian Baroque architecture of the National Revival Period. It was built in 1847. The principal facade of the house faces west, giving onto a spacious and well-kept garden. We were lucky to stumble upon a group of Bulgarian ladies in traditional Bulgarian costumes, and got a glimpse of a flamboyant cultural performance, its centre point being Bulgarian masks belted with cowbells storming through the courtyard.
Djumaya (Friday) Mosque
Is an active Muslim temple, known also as Ulu (main) Djumaya Mosque. As legend goes, the last name is dated back to the time when the Ottomans conquered Plovdiv in 1371. The Muslim temple was built in the place of an Orthodox cathedral from the 13th c., dedicated to Saint Petka ( Paraskeva). Djumaya Mosque is the second biggest Muslim building within the boundaries of today's Bulgaria, having build-up area of about 1500 sq.m.
The Plovdiv Clock-tower
A The PlovdivA Clock-tower is situated on the Sahatteppe. It is considered that this is one of the oldest clock-towers not only in Bulgaria but also in the whole Europe. Its construction is dated back to the 16th c. In the beginning of the 19th c this remarkable monument broke down. In 1812 the town public undertook the restoration of the tower.
Ancient-revival ensemble around Hissarkapiya
The architecture of the Ancient Plovdiv represents a top manifestation of anotherA outstanding period of Bulgarian history the National Revival (18th-19th c.). There is homogeneous architectural ensemble, where the structures from the epoch of National Revival connect all historical layers, a rare combination of national traditional architecture and older historical layers, forming a homogeneous ensemble.
