Are you visiting Plovdiv in Bulgaria soon? If so this travel video is for you to give you ideas of Plovdiv things to see and what to do in Plovdiv Bulgaria.

Plovdiv was the European Capital of Culture Plovdiv 2019. The fascinating and historic city of Plovdiv is the first Bulgarian city to be chosen as European Capital of Culture.
In this travel video of Plovdiv highlights include the ancient Roman Amphitheater and various areas of Plovdiv including Kapana (literally translated as and also know as The Trap), an area of Plovdiv well known for the variety of street art.

Plovdiv is one of europe's oldest towns and buried under the Main Street is a huge ancient Roman amphitheatre that used to sit 30,000 people. Part of it has been dug up so go and have a look at it and part of it is used as an theatre for cultural events such as singing and dancing performances.
The FREE Plovdiv Walking Tour takes place daily, and is full of fascinating facts. It's a great way to orientate yourself and find out lots of information about Plovdiv and will also give you useful insights into the history of Bulgaria including some of the buildings.
Because Plovdiv is an old city it has a lot of history and culture, in fact last year in 2019 it was the European city of Culture.
Apart from visiting the amphitheater another great passtime is to wander the cobbled pavements of the trap or Kapana enjoying the street art, walk the streets of Ancient Plovdiv which is an Architectural Reserve and soak up some of the ancient atmosphere, visit the ruins of nebet tepe, make a wish at one of the statues of Plovdiv, enjoy the colourful singing fountains of Plovdiv and climbing Bunarjik Hill for sunset. Bunarjik Hill is home to Aloysha which is the Monument of the Unknown Soviet Soldier.

One Day In European Capital Of Culture | Exploring Plovdiv
In this video I continued my journey around Bulgaria, and the next stop was Plovdiv. We've visited this gorgeous place for just one day, but it was really full of discoveries. Let's check this place together!
PLOVDIV Bulgaria - First Impressions of European City of Culture
SEPTEMBER 2019 After our bus journey from Istanbul, we arrived in Plovdiv in the afternoon, ready to explore this ancient city.
The first thing to do in a new country is normally to get some local currency, so that was on our agenda. We had a wander around, ate a doner kebab/shwarma (of course!) and were delighted to see the evening fountain show!
There will be two more Plovdiv videos, with more details and information about this fascinating city... so keep watching for more!

Trip to Plovdiv city this summer

Plovdiv - European Cultural Capital 2019
In 2019, we did a train Trip through the Balkans, and we stayed two months in the beautiful Bulgarian City called Plovdiv - the oldest city in Europe - European cultural capital 2019 - and one of the most interesting cities I have ever visited.
We visited in 2019 and despite the Cultural Capital that year it luckily hasn't been overcrowded with tourists like too many European countries yet.
We have been hiking the six hills - enjoyed the food truck festivals - enjoyed vegan food and life music in the streets in summer.
We sure did bring our reusable cups and cutlery for street food and reusable bulk bags for shopping to avoid/reduce single use plastic trash.
The Rhodope Mountains are just half an hour drive away to do some amazing hikes.
