Step by Step

Discover the Bulgarian cities of Plovdiv and Koprivshtitsa on a tour from Sofia. This is an experience of around eleven hours for groups of around 30 people where an expert guide, if you choose the option, will walk the route with you and teach you about the history and culture of these two emblematic places. You can also choose to do the tour with an audio guide or just with transport included.

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.

    I loved Plovdiv, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Europe, and marveled as I walked through the narrow streets of the old town.

    Next, we drove to Koprivshtitsa, where stories of heroism and revolution filled the air. We discovered how this town was an epicenter of the Bulgarian struggle for liberation during the Russo-Turkish war.
