The unique and fascinating town of Plovdiv is hardly described in simple terms. It is because its majestic beauty is incomparable as the season changes.

The present and old town shapes up its exceptional scenery that brings a very relaxing atmosphere. Ranked as the second largest Bulgarian city in population and size, Plovdiv is famous for its ancient history and diverse culture. Plovidiv is situated on the two banks of the Maritsa river in the central part of Upper Thrace, nestled in between seven hills and connected by six bridges. It is locarted 150 km from Sofia, the capital city of Bulgaria. Its location had brought about dominant political and cultural influences from East and West civilizations and is considered as one of the oldest towns in Europe like Rome, and Athens. There are two towns in Plovdiv known as the Old Town Stariyat Grad (or The Old Town of Plovdiv) that occupies the three eastern hills in the Tracian Plain and was erected by Bulgarian master builders during the 19th century. Every lovely house built in this part of the town has its own style and beauty. Oak gates, green yards, large bay windows and marble fountains make these buildings a touch of class, which is the reason why most of these houses are now museums. The other part of the town is the lower town spread in the plain below that offers dynamic sights and entertainment.
