Plovdiv Tour Map: Hills, Kapana And Day Trips On One Page
Plovdiv keeps its best sights close together. The Old Town climbs Nebet Tepe and Dzhambaz Tepe while Kapana, the Roman Stadium and the Ancient Theatre sit within one walkable pedestrian centre, and this map puts all of it, plus the day trips, in a single view.
How The City Centre Meets The Day Trips
You can wander from Kapana's creative quarter to the Ancient Theatre and the Roman Stadium in one easy loop on foot. Head south across the Maritsa river and the country opens up toward Asenovgrad, Asen's Fortress and Bachkovo Monastery, about 30 km away. Koprivshtitsa and Rila Monastery make a longer but worthwhile run.
