Plovdiv

Plovdiv is the second largest city in Bulgaria, with profound character and long history. It is a place which is a must for every tourist visiting Bulgaria. it is not only the monuments which will capture your hart, but also the warm athmosphere of the town, with numerous cultural events throughout the year and endless number of cafes and restaurants in which you can enjoy a nice afternoon.

The Ancient Plovdiv is the oldest core of present Plovdiv. It is situated on the three “tepes” (hills) - Nebet Tepe, Dzhambaz Tepe and Taxim Tepe that appeared to be a natural shelter in numerous threats throughout the centuries. The Old Plovdiv area was randomly built, having no initial municipal planning. The houses, touching eaves and bay windows on the opposite sides looking almost into each other, were built right on the sidewalk. The single amalgamating requirement when building a house here was - style!
