Introducing Plovdiv - Bulgaria's Oldest City

My trip to Plovdiv Bulgaria started in spectacular style with a visit to old town Plovdiv & some historic tourist destinations. Join this Englishman in Plovdiv & we'll see why it's such a popular city in Bulgaria.

Situated on and around seven syenite hills, the city sprung up from a small settlement over 8,000 years ago and is one of Europe's oldest continuously inhabited cities. I had no idea what to expect but my first day was packed with awesome sights, ancient history, trendy streets, recently unearthed ruins and one heck of a storm! The history is intense with Roman amphitheatres and stadiums, as well as a variety of houses built during the Ottoman rule.

Plovdiv remains one of the most popular tourist destinations in Bulgaria and after just a few hours I could see why. It's regularly listed as one of the best places in Bulgaria and a good distance from other important attractions such as Sofia and the Rila Mountains - both being easy day trips. Old Plovdiv is beautiful, Kapana remains trendy and fashionable whilst the seven hills and more than worth a visit but more on that in the next video!

Join me as I take a look around and explore some of the history and events that shaped the city into what it is today - a European Capital of Culture and for very good reason!
