In Plovdiv, Bulgaria's second largest city and about 150 kilometres from Sofia by road, you will realise that the remains you see in the city just by walking through its streets are part of history. In fact, it is one of the oldest inhabited cities in Europe.
It has more than 8,000 years of history and is known for its well-preserved Roman ruins, Ottoman architecture and art scene. The most outstanding site is the old town. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it features a maze of narrow cobbled streets, colourful houses with traditional architecture and beautiful 19th-century villas.
Koprivshtitsa is a small historic town located in the Sredna Gora Mountains, about 110 kilometres east of Sofia. It is famous for its well-preserved Bulgarian National Revival architecture and for its importance in the history of Bulgaria.
