Long before it became the cultural capital of Europe in 2019, Plovdiv was the cultural capital of Bulgaria. Hardly anyone would be surprised by this fact: the city under the hills abounds with museums and galleries, and there are so many festivals that it is impossible to attend them all! Whether you love theatre, ballet, fine arts, folklore, symphonic music, opera, jazz or rock/metal – there is plenty to see in Plovdiv!
Plovdiv residents love life and all its pleasures. The Kapana district is a testimony to this. Here, every pavé radiates an epicurean aspiration to delight the senses. Love delicious food? The variety is impressive: from traditional Bulgarian cuisine, through vegetarian and vegan offerings to the latest global culinary trends. Love a good coffee? Take a sip of the magical drink made from beans freshly roasted on site. Are you a connoisseur of the drink of love? Listen to live jazz with a glass of fine wine in hand. And all this is just the beginning…
Both day and night, in the town under the hills you will find entertainment for every taste. If you love nature walks, be sure to explore the many parks around. Tsar Simeon’s Garden, Bunardzhika, Youth Hill and Sahat Tepe are just some of the places where you can enjoy the greenery in the heart of the city. For the romantics, we recommend a walk along the riverside promenade: one of the best places to watch the magical Plovdiv sunsets. As soon as the sun goes down, the night entertainment begins. Jazz and piano bars with live music, cocktail bars, craft beer, wine or whiskey, clubs dedicated to different musical styles: from hard rock, to electronic music, to chalga.
“Eight Tepe” includes 8 studios and apartments of different sizes and layouts. Here every little detail has been created with your comfortable stay in mind. The interior design, as well as many of the paintings in the apartments, are the work of Plovdiv artist Ivan Ivanov.
Situated on the three central hills of the city, the Old Town is the historical treasure of Plovdiv. Here the first settlement was born 6 thousand years ago. Here was the ancient fortress, the medieval castle and the quarter of the rich craftsmen and merchants of the 18th century. Today many of the houses in this magical place have been converted into galleries and museums. Visit the Old Town to experience the authentic artistic spirit of the city.
The Episcopal Basilica is one of the newest museums in the city. It preserves the memory of Christianity in Plovdiv since the time of the Roman Empire. In a fascinating and interactive way, the Episcopal Basilica tells the story of life in Trimontium at the dawn of the first millennium. And on the second floor, in addition to fascinating ancient mosaics, you’ll find a children’s corner where kids of all ages can play, exploring antiquity and archaeology.
Did you know that the main street of Plovdiv, named “Knyaz Alexander I” is the longest pedestrian street in Europe? It starts at the Tsar Simeon’s Garden, continues north to the r.

Here you will feel the millennial spirit of Plovdiv, combining the beauty of antiquity and the architecture of the twentieth century.
If the Old Town is the jewel of Plovdiv, then Kapana is its soul. For centuries it has been the city’s artisan quarter, where the most important things happened.
