A guide from a 7 year student in Plovdiv

улица „Княз Александър I-ви“

“The center of Plovdiv. Many markets, you can walk freely with your children as no cars are allowed. There is a mosque which provides Turkish tea - coffee. A Roman - Byzantine theatre and at the end of the street is the so called "Kapana" or "The Trap". ”

Ice Cream House Afreddo

Raffy Bar & Gelato

El Greco - гръцка кафе сладкарница и пекарна

“A Greek cafeteria where they serve the traditional "mpougatsa" aswell”

Kapana

“Kapana is known for its narrow streets, neoclassical houses and the small shops. I recommend going to the "Central Perk" as it is a good implementation of the coffee shop that the protagonists of the series "Friends" used to hang out. "Kotka i Mishka" ( Cat and Mouse ) is a good spot to drink beer. They have a wide variety to choose from. ”

Стария град

“Old town is a big region which consists of neoclassical houses, museums, souvenir shops and a restaurant at the very top. Recommending a good pair of trainers as the pavement is stoney, in order to ease the local people to walk in the snow during the winter. There is an Orthodox - Byzantine church of Saint Constantine and Helen at the very bottom of the trip”

Rahat Tepe

“Amazing view, suitable both for cold or hot season with available options to sit outside or inside. Delicious, affordable food. Breathtaking scenery on your way there as it is located in the old town of Plovdiv”

Nebet Tepe

“After you finish with Rahat Tepe, visit Nebet Tepe aswell. The view is astonishing as you can see the whole city. It is more magical in the night with the city lights. ”

Grebna baza Outdoor Fitness

“An artificial lake which extends for 3.5kms. People are running / cycling / rafting daily. A good spot to chill with friends as it has a parking lot aswell. During the night it lights up and the bridge in the center of the lake has multicoloured lights aswell. ”
