About this activity
Explore Plovdiv's layered history and wine culture over 4 hours with a custom-paced tour covering ancient Roman sites, Ottoman landmarks, and museums. Choose between self-guided flexibility or a private guide with hotel pickup, discovering Bulgaria's 2019 European Capital of Culture at your own tempo.
4 hours of pure oenological and cultural experience are waiting for you in a fully customizable tour with flexible starting times at your own pace.
Starting from Ancient Stadium of Philipopolis, we will explore Plovdiv, which was the European Capital of Culture for 2019. We will pass by and stop at many important sites and buildings, such as Plovdiv Roman Theatre, Djumaya Mosque, The Old Pharmacy "Hippocrates", Hisar Kapia, the Ethnographic Museum, the Balabanov House and many many more.
But besides the stops that we will make, you will have the chance to admire this beautiful city as we walk and take amazing pictures!
