Lokalne wskazówki
- For the best photos of the Roman Theatre, enter from the top gate near the Old Town for a stunning panoramic view, rather than the main lower entrance.
- Buy a combined ticket for several of the Old Town house-museums (like Hindliyan, Balabanov, and the Ethnographic Museum) to save money compared to individual entries.
- The free Plovdiv City Card app offers interactive maps, audio guides, and discounts at many restaurants, shops, and museums.
