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 is a safe town. It is extremely easy to make good friends and hang out with them! There is night life and it's not too scary to go home if you get a taxi. During the day it feels very safe as well!
Posted: April 26, 2025During the day in the central neighborhood Plovdiv is very safe. During the night I don't recommend walking alone even in the central areas especially in smaller streets or in the sketchier neighborhoods. There is no public transit during the night and its unreliable even during the day but theres always taxi cars available which aren't too expensive so keep that in mind.
