Additional Information

Plovdiv stands as the second largest city in Bulgaria, housing a myriad of significant historical landmarks. It boasts a well-maintained Roman theatre, a Roman stadium, and grand 18th and 19th century houses owned by prosperous local traders. Plovdiv’s Old Town is a living testament to the past and is a sightseeing treasure. The hamlet of Koprivshtitsa ranks among Bulgaria’s most symbolic and historical locations. Many revolutionaries, intellectuals, authors and poets were born here. It was the site of the influential April rebellion in 1878, which indirectly prompted Bulgaria’s emancipation from Ottoman rule two years thereafter. Koprivshtitsa’s architectural style is also singular. You can feast your eyes on splendid age-old houses which resonate with the essence of bygone eras.

Very good Tour to Plovnik and Koprivshtitsa - Very good tour visiting 2 places in Bulgaria with high interest; Christian was very good, he was eager to do well as it was his first trip since February due to the break imposed by Covid 19. It is good to combine these 2 places in one single tour;
