day 1Sofia to Plovdiv
Sofia - Plovdiv. In the morning, our tour guide will pick you up from your hotel in Sofia. We'll then set off towards our first destination: Plovdiv, Bulgaria's second-largest city and one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Europe. Plovdiv's Old Town features well-preserved historic districts, with narrow cobblestone streets, colourful houses, and charming architecture.
On arrival, we'll visit the recently opened Bishop's Basilica, dating back to the 5th-6th century AD, which showcases preserved mosaics depicting over 100 bird species.
