Is Plovdiv Bulgaria Europe's most underrated city?

- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- Plovdiv (popoulation 370,000) is often said to be Bulgaria's most beautiful city, even if people from Sofia, the capital, might beg to differ.
The city's laid-back, relaxed vibe has long made it a favorite for visitors to Bulgaria, not to mention a long list of historic and cultural sites, including an Ottoman Fortress (undergoing extensive renovation and set to re-open in 2025), a spectacular Greco-Roman Theater dating to near the time of Christ, an ancient stadium in the heart of downtown, a gorgeous central park of fountains and statuary laid out in the 1890s, and much more.
Yet, there isn't the kind of over-tourism one expects elsewhere in Europe. Which is yet another reason why expats who flock here love it.

Such an interesting tour, thank you.

Mitko, I do indeed love Plovdiv. Glad you enjoyed the video.
just a comment regarding the weather.
Sofia is at high elevations ~ 600 meters. It's a mountainous city.
Plovdiv, the second largest city and a cultural capital, and Burgas, the 4th largest city, both feature a humid subtropical climate. Literally, all of Southern Bulgaria's lowlands feature either a Mediterranean (Primorsko/Sandanski) or Humid Subtropical climate. You can find wild olives, pomegranate, palm trees and kiwis growing outside w/o any winter protection. 2200-2800 annual sunshine hours. That's not cold.
So the author has a rather limited understanding of Bulgaria; his views are only based on living in Sofia. This is like saying - America is cold because New York has bad weather.
Thanks for the observations. If you haven't already you might also enjoy my videos from Plovdiv and Veliko-Tarnovo.
