So, here are the top 5 different places, loaded with culture, you can see and visit in the town.
It is obligatory to start with the Ancient Roman Theatre in Plovdiv. It’s location in the city’s center gives the tourist a chance to visit it as a part of his everyday walk in the town. Although the theater is still in use, it can be visited simply to be seen as a landmark, but the real experience is to come to Plovdiv when there is a concert in this ancient miracle. In Plovdiv’s ancient theatre have played many world musicians who have left a piece of themselves on this stage and often after the concert they say they have no words to describe the feeling. Imagine then what the audience experienced.
If you are not so into the music, but love the authentic culture and architecture, then your destination is the Old Town of Plovdiv. Unavoidable as part of a tour in Plovdiv because there one can see the most remarkable achievements of the Bulgarian Revival – so close to us as a period of time, but so far away as feeling and mentality. The Old town is so loaded and filled with emotions, art, and lifestyle so it is something not to be missed.

Part of your cultural walk in Plovdiv could be just one street but so special in its content – Street of Folk Arts and Handcrafts.

It is a combination of nature, culture, archeology, panorama, and a lot more. Few are the ancient sites of the world that are part of the contemporary urban landscape, but in Plovdiv they are even more than one.
