Plovdiv is Bulgaria’s second-largest city, the fifth oldest in the world, and the oldest in Europe, with a history dating back to 4,000 BC. Initially, the ancient settlement was located on the natural elevation between Nebet, Taksim, and Dzhambaz hills (the Three Hills). In ancient times, Thracians inhabited the Three Hills and established a fortified settlement, the largest city in Thrace. In the 4th century BC, Plovdiv was conquered by Philip of Macedonia, who named it Philippopolis and fortified it with thick walls. Later, it became a Roman province and an important regional center. The town is home to the Roman Theatre, which has been successfully restored and is currently used for various performances, concerts, and events.

This year, Plovdiv is the European Capital of Culture, offering a chance to experience ongoing events in various forms such as exhibitions, concerts, art performances, street parades, and more.
