Description:
Delight in the ancient history of Bulgaria's second-largest city on this tour of Plovdiv. Wonder at the architecture with an incredible 6,000-year history and explore sites including the 2nd-century Roman Theater. Later, explore one of Europe's largest Eastern Orthodox monasteries at Bachkovo.
A common Bulgarian cliché says “you must see Plovdiv to see Bulgaria.” With so much to see and explore in this large city, you soon understand why. Plovdiv is one of Europe's oldest towns, with a stunning mix of architecture of Thrace, Roman, Bulgarian, and Ottoman influences. With your guide giving you historical and cultural insights, meander past the fascinating museums, galleries, workshops, and restaurants dating back to the Revival Period of the 19th century.
Before the journey back to Sofia, make a stop at the Bachkovo Monastery, set in the mystical Rhodope Mountains. This notable religious site dating back to 1083 features a unique collection of frescoes in its magnificent dining room.
