Plovdiv Socialist Architecture Tour
Plovdiv has many faces. And while most of our visitors can’t wait to see the famous Ancient Roman Theatre or the city’s picturesque Old town, this tour is dedicated to Plovdiv’s rich socialist architectural heritage.
The Socialist Architecture Tour is focused on the architectural styles dominating Bulgaria during the 1944-1989 period. Together we will explore some of the most important public buildings in Plovdiv as examples. We will be able to enjoy the monumental art that decorates them and find out more about their functions during the communist era. What was the idea behind them? How do they compare in terms of practicality to older and newer architectural standards?
Throughout the tour, we will relive the metamorphoses of the regime itself through the changes that accrued in architecture.
You can join us with or without reservation. Guaranteed departure. Booking is not mandatory.
This tour will run only until the end of December 2024.
Who is this for?
The idea of our free walking tours is to show the city to individual travellers and small groups. If you are an organized group of ten people (10+), please contact us at least 24 hrs in advance, and we will arrange a tailor-made private tour for you. Otherwise, our guides will refuse your participation in the free walking tour.
