It’s a favorite place of kids and adults! This amazing aquapark is situated on 17 000 sq. meters and offers a big variety of slides and pools. To be exact, in Aqualand Plovdiv you can choose between 6 different pools and around 15 slides. Surely everyone can find what they like since all the attractions are different – some will give you a big adrenalin rush, others are calmer, but still fun to go on.

Also, we have two pieces of advice for you regarding pools:

  • Aways check the entrance fee in advance via phone or message, since it can vary in the beginning, peak and end of the season;
  • Ask your Free Plovdiv Tour guide for a recommendation – personal advice can be very helpful.

Summer Sunsets

One good thing about a warm summer is that you can stay outside all night without freezing. Or at least you can wait for the sunset!

Plovdiv is famous for its hills. And what a better place to watch the sunset than a hill – you are high above the city, enjoying a lovely panoramic view? Furthermore, you can choose between several hills!
