Plovdiv was my favorite city to visit in Bulgaria. It was easy to walk around, and the old part of the city was very beautiful with a bunch of cute bars and cafes. I suggest going on a free walking tour where you get to know the area. I stayed at a hostel and made a wonderful travel companion. The taxi drives very quite rude and had a very bad experience with them. I was treated very differently when I was taking a taxi with a man companion compared when trying to take one alone.
Posted: July 30, 2024I visited Plovdiv twice as a day trip from Sofia. The city has a colorful old town, nice Roman amphitheater ruins, and an alternative district full of graffiti and cafes. I always travelled there by bus. It's an amazing place with wonderful people.

Plovdiv like all places has some bad apples, there are some right wing extremists here, people claiming to be nazis. If you are a person of colour or someone who wears religious coverings you are more likely to feel some untoward behaviour and harassment.

Hi, I'm Antoniya :) I'm a student from Plovdiv. I love traveling with family, friends or even alone. And I really like sharing stories with new people! I've been to many countries in Europe, Africa and Asia. The most interesting country I've visited is Japan!
