Even if that’s not your profession or your hobby, with some basic skills you can amaze your friends with the photos you took for a memory from a place you visited. Magnificent Plovdiv will make it even easier for you because we have prepared 5 ideas for another very important ingredient for a beautiful picture – LOCATION!

Plovdiv is famous for its hills (called tepes or тепета in Bulgarian). Heights are always a good idea for a picture as long as they provide a panoramic view. In our city, you can get that by climbing to the top of Nebet tape, Sahat tape, Bunarzhik tape, or Dzhendem tepe. If you combine your effort to climb a hill with a dramatic cloudy sky, or a colorful sunset you will get some stunning results.

Tsar Simeon’s Garden

The garden was supposed to be impressive and breathtaking since it was created in 1892 for the First International Fair in Bulgaria. The swiss gardener Lucien Chewallaz, who before that was the court-gardener of the sultan Abdulaziz, planned it. Today Tsar Simeon’s Garden is a favorite place of the people of Plovdiv with its beautiful flowers, allies and fountains.

Consider going there also at night when you can enjoy the Singing Fountains and make some colorful pictures.

We promise you will be stunned by the rich interior inside, their lovely architecture and cozy yards with lots of flowers inside.

Roman remainings

Plovdiv, known in Roman times as Trimontium, was important center in the Thracian province. Therefore, today you are able to enjoy some beautiful and impressive Roman sights. Just keep in mind the Roman theater in Plovdiv is one of the best-preserved theaters in the world, also a triumph of the Bulgarian Conservation School. With that said, we believe your imagination can start working on those photos.

Rowing Canal

The biggest rowing venue on the Balkans, the Rowing Canal is a perfect place for a long walk and some photographs. Let’s be honest – water is beautiful and makes pictures more magical.

How about some lovely cloud reflections? Or maybe a sunset? Or even the romantic lights of the place when it’s already dark?

Bonus location: Maritsa river

Speaking of water! Mids Plovdiv you will find Maritsa river. On both sides, you will notice banks with beautiful nature – willows, cattails, and cute ducks.

And if you follow the river near the Rowing canal you will feel like you are very far away from the city itself and into a fairytale. That, of course, promises some interesting photographs.
