Plovdiv is Bulgaria’s second largest town – a city with a prominent ancient past, an open - air museum with fascinating architecture.

As well as in the narrow center, there is also plenty to see in the Old Town of Plovdiv. There have been preserved Thracian fortifications and Byzantine fortress walls. You’ll be impressed by the narrow cobbled streets which represent the spirit of this place. Plovdiv is also known for its spring and autumn fair.

Here you can discover the delightful Bulgarian cuisine in a last century house - restaurant.
Near Plovdiv is the famous Bachkovo Monastery (11th c.) – the second largest monastery in Bulgaria. It’s nestled amidst the slopes of the Rhodope Mountains nearby. The monastery is interesting with its painted walls dating from 1083. The monastery has its own museum preserving rare objects from different époques.
