Tsar Simeon Garden, Plovdiv, Bulgaria - Crystal Fountains
Plovdiv, Bulgaria, a city steeped in history and culture predating even Athens, is the oldest living city in Europe, and the sixth oldest in the world. Bulgaria experienced a period of unmatched cultural prosperity and enlightenment under the reign of Simeon the Great I during the First Bulgarian Empire, and this cultural injection into Plovdiv has only continued to flourish; with this majestic city having just been officially titled the European Capital of Culture for 2019.
The landscape of the city centers around the main community hub, which is venerated in memory of Bulgaria’s most celebrated leader. An area often referred to by Plovdiv citizens as the ‘Lungs of the City;’ Tsar Simeon Park was designed and implemented in 1982 by landscape gardener Lyusien Shevalas, and is situated on the very landmark where Plovdiv first compered its renowned Bulgarian Exhibition. The park embodies the artistic spirit of its host country - shaded by ancient trees and surrounded by recreational opportunities - it is home to numerous illustrious sculptures and fountains; one of the most notable being the Singing Fountain, which has recently been reintroduced to the public after an 8 million dollar renovation.
With the help of our WATERlab technology, a breathtaking spectacle of both water and music was born; bringing these seasoned partners together to perform for the citizens and guests of Plovdiv in seamless harmony. Spanning across an artificial lake in the very center of the main garden, the Singing Fountain is comprised of numerous customized jets that jump and sway in sync to a selection of handpicked compositions, while soaring up to 12 meters high. After the sun sets, the fountain illuminates this popular gathering space with countless RGB lights in an array of bright and exciting colours, encouraging guests to utilize this beautiful community park late into the evening. Additionally, every weekend, spectators are invited to be dazzled by this radiant musical presentation as the streams of water reflect a brilliant backdrop of fireworks.
There couldn’t be a more suitable location for this impressive water feature than the center of a city with such a rich cultural and artistic history as Plovdiv. This thrilling rejuvenation of the city center will continue to encourage Plovdiv’s dedication to culture and community as a shared beacon of pride and entertainment for its citizens.

TsarSimeonsGarden @ Plovdiv
Tsar Simeon’s Garden in Plovdiv is created in 1892 by the Swiss landscape architect Lucien Chevalas (1840-1921). In 1879 Bulgarian knyaz Aleksandar Bogoridi invited Chevalas to become his gardener in Plovdiv. For all his contribution to the city, in 1901 he was declared an honorary citizen of Plovdiv, and also often is referred to as “the Minister of flowers”.
This year, to both citizens and guests’ delight, the renovation of the Garden has been completed. The idea behind it is to resemble the look from time of the First Bulgarian fair in 1892 and bring back Bulgaria’s Kingdom spirit.
Since summer the restored fountain of Goddess Demeter is brought for a new life, and a Viennese pavilion is built in the centre of the park. The pavilion is with a metal openwork construction and is a replica of the 1936-Central Pavilion. All this was possible with the help of archival photographs and historical evidences from the Book of the fair. In addition there is new lighting in the park, and also new benches and modern children's playgrounds are installed. The trees and the flowers turn the park in a paradise garden.
The pearl on the crown of the park is the renovated Lake with the Singing Fountains. You can take advantage of the cooling effect of the dry fountain and enjoy the light show of the lake intertwined with water effects.
The Fountain’s special dance – a spectacular show with music and light can be observed every Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening at 21:30.

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.
