WHAT TO DO AROUND PLOVDIV?
For those that are willing to explore more of Bulgaria’s beauty, Plovdiv also offers plenty of day-trip opportunities. One of the most popular options is Asen’s fortress. This fascinating place is seated on a high, rocky ridge in the Rhodope mountains.
Bulgaria is a country with rich cultural heritage and important parts of this heritage are the Bulgarian monasteries. If you have Plovdiv as your base your best choice is the Bachkovo Monastery.
