Plovdiv is an incredible place to visit & hopefully my travel vlog will show you why. It’s a safe, intriguing city with a perfect blend of modern infrastructure and historical wonders. I explored from the old town of Plovdiv which is an architectural reserve, down to the colossal Roman stadium in the heart of Plovdiv city centre.

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 Ottoman rule.

Plovdiv is 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 to visit 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 are more than worth a visit - more on that in the next video!

Join me as I take a walk around and explore some of the history and events that shaped the city of Plovdiv into what it is today - a European Capital of Culture and one of Bulgaria’s leading tourist destinations!
