Tour Route
Begin your journey at the Roman Forum of Philippopolis, the civic heart of the ancient city. Imagine this bustling square nearly 2,000 years ago—filled with merchants, politicians, and citizens shaping daily life.

Continue to the Roman Odeon of Philippopolis, a symbol of civic organization. This intimate theatre once hosted council meetings before evolving into a venue for performances.

Walk along the main street to the remains of the Ancient Stadium of Philippopolis, where up to 30,000 spectators gathered for athletic competitions inspired by Greek traditions.

Visit the Dzhumaya Mosque, a striking reminder of Plovdiv’s Ottoman past and its long tradition of cultural coexistence.

Climb into the Old Town to explore the magnificent Roman Theatre of Philippopolis, one of the best-preserved Roman theatres in the world, still hosting performances today.

Stroll through the charming Old Town, discovering landmarks like the Balabanov House and the Ethnographic Museum Plovdiv, symbols of the Bulgarian National Revival.

Finally, reach Nebet Tepe, where it all began. From this ancient hill, enjoy panoramic views and stand at the birthplace of one of Europe’s oldest continuously inhabited cities.
