Full description
This tour offers a complete experience that combines history, culture, and unique flavors. It begins early in the morning with hotel pick-up. The first destination is the city of Plovdiv, located approximately 1.5 hours away, known as the oldest continuously inhabited city in Europe and the sixth oldest in the world, according to The Daily Telegraph (2010). Founded around the 6th century BC, Plovdiv has been a significant center since Thracian times, thriving under the Roman and Byzantine Empires, enduring through Ottoman rule, and flourishing again during the Bulgarian National Revival.
The panoramic tour includes landmarks such as the Free Economic Zone, the Plovdiv International Fair (EXPO Hall), and the Maritsa River. Next, you’ll enjoy a walking tour covering the East Gate of ancient Philipopolis, the Historical Museum building, Hisar Kapiya, the Ethnographic Museum (including its courtyard), the impressive Ancient Theater, the Jumaya Mosque, the Roman Stadium, the main street of modern Plovdiv, the City Hall, and the Roman Forum.
Afterward, you’ll head to Perustitsa, a small town in the Thracian region with a special charm from the Bulgarian Revival period. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to visit one of the best wine cellars in the area for a tasting of local wines. The tour includes a visit to the vineyards and an observation of the production process, providing a unique and authentic experience.
Plovdiv is also an ideal starting point for many tourist destinations within and outside Bulgaria, thanks to its cultural, historical, and natural attractions, modern sports facilities, and a cultural calendar filled with international events.
This tour includes round-trip transportation from your hotel, ensuring you can relax and enjoy an unforgettable day exploring one of Bulgaria's historical and cultural gems while savoring the finest wines of the region.
