Over deze ervaring
Enjoy a guided combo tour to three of Bulgaria’s most fascinating places. You will visit Plovdiv, the European Capital of Culture 2019, alongside the unique sites of Starosel and Staro Zhelezare.
In Plovdiv, a professional guide (or with an audioguide) will show you all the major sights of the Old Town. You will see the amazing heritage left by the Romans, the Thracians, and many other ancient cultures.
The drive through the Sredna Gora Mountain takes you past beautiful vineyards and quiet villages. You will explore the ancient Thracian temples in Starosel and see the famous street art murals in Staro Zhelezare. Even though the day is full of history and art, you will still have free time to eat, shop, and wander on your own.
Group Size & Transport: This is a popular, budget-friendly day tour operating with large 45 to 65-seater coaches. This is not a small-group or minibus tour. You will share the transport with other international travelers.
