Do go! Wander around the cobbled streets, take a pick at the few ( overpriced) antique shops, check the galleries, the Bulgarian Renaissance homes, climb to the top of the hills and take a look at the breathtaking views.

It’s one of the best places in Plovdiv . Great decoration, beautiful music choices , very good coffee. It’s not very crowded so it’s rather quiet. The girl that prepared my coffee (it’s a self-service place btw) was extra polite and could speak some English. I totally recommend it!!

The most modern part of the city, Kapana preserves the architectural and traditional memories of the past. Appeared as an art center 5 centuries ago. Just a few minutes walk from the main street of Plovdiv, you reach the small pedestrian streets, where buildings are full of graffiti. Small cafes and restaurants. Would love to visite it in the summer

right in the middle of the city, appeared by chance (an earthquake) this stadium, witness of the Roman Empire; Plovdiv was capital of a Roman province, Tracia, and thanks to that the Emperor Marcus Aurelius decided to invest for a better living of the inhabitants a city under the the city, two worlds and 1800 years in between the area was very nice restored and is very well included int the nowadays city there is a short available 3D movie, which helps for a better understanding of what was the role of this stadium; ask for tickets, you will have a visit for an old house (National Revival style) included
