Plovdiv (Bulgarian: Пловдив) is one of the oldest cities in Europe and the second-largest city in Bulgaria. Located in Southern Bulgaria it is one European Capital of Culture in 2019.

We start our walk in the newer part of Plovdiv at the Maritsa River in the North of the inner city. From there we head to the Nebet Tepe hill - one of the 7 hills of the city. Old Plovdiv up there (
9:00 ) is a tourist attraction with old houses along cobble stoned streets. The archaeological area also provides a nice view over the area.

The main attraction is the Roman-era Ancient Theatre of Philippopolis which hosts concert events. The sun comes out now and we head down to the city centre which has seen renovations over the last couple of years. The shoppingstreet “Otets Paisiy” is built around the Ancient Stadium of Philipopolis and Dzhumaya Mosque.

There is more to see here yet some sights seem under constructions. We end the walking tour after one hour at Garden of Tsar Simeon.
