Plovdiv Classic Tour from Sofia – Discover the Cultural Capital of Europe
Plovdiv – the multifaced city of the Balkans, with its vibrant atmosphere, artistic nature, and ancient spirit! Take a drive to this exuberant place and immerse yourself into its rich history and legacy. We will take you through the history of the city from its very beginning up until the recent past. Submerging into such amalgamation of Thracian, Roman, Ottoman, Bulgarian, Slav, and Armenian cultures, you will witness some of the best architectural examples that all these nations created. Enjoy a promenade down the old cobblestoned alleys of the Old Town lined with galleries and craftsman shops where you can feel the artistic spirit of the neighborhood by observing artists still living and working within its peaceful confines. Learn more about the 19th century Bulgarian Renaissance and admire the specific house architecture that emerged during this time. The tour ends with a delicious lunch and wine tasting in the artistic heart of Plovdiv- Kapana District.
