With 3 days in Plovdiv, you'll have time to experience the city's highlights. Wander the cobbled lanes of the Old Town (Stari Grad) past vividly painted National Revival mansions with overhanging bay windows, then descend into the Roman Stadium, partially excavated beneath the main pedestrian street. This is a city that demands you look down as much as up—ancient mosaics lie underfoot in cafes, and the labyrinthine tunnels of Nebet Tepe hill fortress offer panoramic views over the Maritsa River.
Pourquoi Visiter Plovdiv
Experience a Thriving Creative Hub: Get lost in the 'Trap' (Kapana Creative District), a maze of streets filled with independent designer boutiques, artisan workshops, and street art. Attend a jazz night at Kotka i Mishka, browse contemporary Bulgarian art at the Sariev Gallery, and catch an indie film at the intimate Kino Odeon.
Indulge in Bulgaria's Wine & Food Renaissance: Sample robust Mavrud and Melnik wines in rustic cellars like Villa Yustina or modern tasting rooms in Kapana. Savor slow-cooked kavarma in a clay pot at a traditional mehana, taste the unique Patatnik (potato and cheese dish) from the Rhodopes, and don't miss the creamy local yogurt.
Explore the Architectural Jewel of Stari Grad: Marvel at the ornate, colorful mansions of Bulgarian National Revival merchants, like the Hindliyan House and the Balabanov House, with their distinctive symmetrical designs and intricate woodcarvings. The area is an open-air museum of 19th-century Bulgarian identity.
