items I've spent one week in Plovdiv, and I fall in love with this city! It's a place where you can relax and enjoy the summer. I've done most of the activities there is to do, and even though I loved some of them, I found some of them too expensive for th...

Where to sleep? How to go there?
I was sleeping at the Pijama Hostel, and I really liked this dormitory with curtains!

From Sofia, the bus costs only 11€. You can buy the tickets on Trainline. Avoid booking on FlixBus: it's much more expensive!

My top 5
This is my top 5 activities, the ones you can't miss if you're in Plovdiv!
This was my favorite museum! I've never seen such beautiful Roman mosaics.
THE BISHOP'S BASILICA OF PHILIPPOPOLIS
This theater is beautiful, and there are sometimes concerts inside! But there is no need to buy a ticket: you can see very well from outside.
Ancient Theatre of Plovdiv
If there is one house to visit in Plovdiv, it's this one! It's the biggest one and the only one that is worth the entrance fee.
Hindliyan House | visitplovdiv.com
Unfortunately, there are only a few rooms to visit in this house, but it's the most beautiful.
Klianti House | visitplovdiv.com
This house is really cute. I really enjoyed the garden (free to access!)
Balabanov House | visitplovdiv.com
To go if it's free
If you're a student or a senior, you'll have access to these sites for free on the first Thursday of the month. I recommend visiting these places at this time because they're not worth the entrance fee.
It's quite a beautiful house!
Nedkovich House | visitplovdiv.com
Some mosaics are beautiful, but this is a very small museum.
SMALL BASILICA OF PHILIPPOPOLIS
I don't recommend
I don't recommend those activities, either because I found them boring or because they're not worth the money.
Under the H&M, there is a small museum with the ruins of the stadium. I don't recommend you go there: it's very expensive, and there is almost nothing to see. That being said, a part of the stadium, near the tourist center, is free to see and mor...
East Gate - ancient-stadium-plovdiv.eu
Don't be fooled by the picture! It's not an old, historic house. You only have access to one room with modern (but nice) paintings. Really not worth the 3€ entrance fee.
Atanas Krastev House Museum - All You SHOULD Know Before ...
There are some good elements in the collection, but it's so small it's not worth the entrance fee (5€). If you're not a Bulgarian student, you won't have access to any reduction (it's one of the only museums that isn't free for international students...
Regional Archaeological Museum Plovdiv
This house is beautiful on the outside, but there is an exhibition of paintings inside. Don't go there if you want to see what an old house looks like!
Old town | The house of Veren Stambolyan
Free activities
The stadium is very small, but it's a nice place to sit!
Roman Stadium | visitplovdiv.com
It's the oldest church in Plovdiv! It looks really beautiful.
Church "St. St. Constantine and Helena" | visitplovdiv.com
The best place to watch the sunset!
