Autumn Vibes in Plovdiv

Hello friends,

Plovdiv is the second largest city in Bulgaria, situated on the banks of Maritsa River in the historical region of Thrace. Plovdiv is among the oldest cities in the world, with a history that dates to the 6th century BC.

The town has been home to quite a few civilizations over the centuries, and its rich history is reflected in its architecture and culture today.

I wanted to make this video and show you what Plovdiv looks like during the fall season and because my previous visit was so busy – I had 5 hours to explore all the historical sites and the Great Basilica, this time I wanted to take it easy and just enjoy the autumn vibes and the atmosphere of my favourite Bulgarian city.

Autumn is lovely in Bulgaria, the exhausting heat drifts away, the mornings and evenings become cooler, but the day temperatures still reach about 25 degrees Celsius.

The autumn season is very colourful and impressive in Plovdiv because there are seven hills, and each hill offers stunning views overlooking the other hills and parts of the city.

The episode will feature the historical centre of Plovdiv, Tsar Simeon’s Garden, the Clock Tower, the interior and exterior of the Dzhumaya Mosque, the Ancient Stadium, and the old town. I will also show you a hidden spot where you least expect to see Roman ruins.

I will stop for a cup of coffee and to try a Turkish pastry - Kunefe (it is made from kadaif and cheese and it is absolutely delicious). Then, I will bring you along with me to the old town of Plovdiv, where I am going to try a traditional Bulgarian dish called Patatnik. The restaurant is pleasant, it offers great views to the city and if you love cats there is a clowder of cats that will keep you company.

If you want to see the most important historical landmarks in Plovdiv, you can watch my first video from Plovdiv “Plovdiv-The Oldest Living City in Europe”. It features Nebet Tepe, Bunardzhik Tepe, the monument of Aliosha, the Roman Theatre, the old town, the Great Basilica and the Small Basilica. Here is the link to the video and I am also going to make a separate playlist for Plovdiv, so that you can find the videos easily.

In my next video I will bring you to the hipster district “KAPANA” (the trap) and then we are going to walk around the city and explore the graffiti, murals and other parts of Plovdiv.
