Colorfull Koprivshtitsa and Ancient Plovdiv

Colorfull Koprivshtitsa and Ancient Plovdiv

Koprivshtitsa is one of the most characteristic Bulgarian towns, still preserving the atmosphere of the Bulgarian National Revival period of the 19th century. Huddled in the mountain-folds, 111 km east of Sofia, it boasts many architectural monuments from the period, most of which have been restored to their original appearance. Collections of ethnographical treasures, old weapons, National Revival works of art, fine fretwork, household weaves and embroidery, national costumes and typical Bulgarian jewelry were also preserved here.

Plovdiv, on the other hand, is a big modern city with an ancient heart. Here you can see Roman ruins, old Bulgarian architecture and learn a lot about Thracians who first settled there. We will enjoy the unique blend of old and new, visiting the Old Town and one of the most popular social and cultural quarters – Kapana.
