Plovdiv sits two hours from Sofia, and these day trips make the case for going. People have lived on its hills for some six thousand years, longer than Rome or Athens, and the Roman theatre still stages concerts. Most tours pair the Old Town with Kapana, the arts quarter.
Discover Plovdiv's ancient charm on a well-organized day trip from Sofia, featuring expert guides, stunning sights, and plenty of free time to explore.
