We welcome you to your Voyage Experience guide: "Plovdiv - City trip in Bulgaria ", which will make you discover a gorgeous city in the heart of Bulgaria.
Know that it is truly worth the trip – even for a weekend – as it is likely the most beautiful in the country right now! Plovdiv will charm you with its unique atmosphere, harmoniously blending the vestiges of the past, the diverse cultures, and the influences of the peoples who have inhabited it for millennia. Its motto, inscribed on its coat of arms, perfectly reflects its distinct character: "Ancient and eternal". We were truly enchanted by Plovdiv, which is both vibrant and dynamic, yet also has a provincial charm, offering a unique quality of life. At the same time, it feels like a place frozen in time, especially in neighborhoods like the old town, where you are transported to a completely different era with its cobbled streets and charming houses. The remnants of the city's long past are scattered everywhere, and you will encounter them throughout your walks. You can find these traces in well-developed and highlighted places, such as the Roman Theater or Stadium, but also in less well signposted areas, like the large complex of ruins near the main post office or the stunning park of Tsar Simeon. If you plan to spend several days or weeks in Bulgaria, make sure not to miss the remains of the great Thracian civilization. We visited Bulgaria for several weeks by car, but you can enjoy Plovdiv and its beautiful region arriving by plane or bus and then rent a car to get around more easily.
