Plovdiv Pedestrian Street

The evening atmosphere on Plovdiv's central pedestrian street is warm and romantic. Souvenir shops, chic cafes, and cute photo spots like the colorful doll statues add vitality to the old town. The streets are illuminated by bright lights from shops selling everything from trendy fashions to traditional souvenirs. Some corners are lined with graffiti and contemporary art, adding a vibrant and contemporary feel to the street. Meanwhile, street artists inspire visitors with their paintings, music, and small performances, constantly energizing the atmosphere. A must-try is rose oil, a Bulgarian specialty. Rose of Bulgaria truly represents this culture. The delicate scent of its high-quality roses makes it one of the most popular souvenirs for tourists. Ul. Knyaz Alexander I Street is not only a place for relaxation and shopping, but also a bridge between the past and the present. Beneath this street lies the Ancient Stadium of Philippopolis, a Roman amphitheater built over 2,000 years ago and capable of holding over 30,000 spectators. Parts of the building are now preserved and open to the public. This ancient structure coexists with modern life at every turn. ✨ A stroll here is an experience that offers a sense of the symbiosis of modernity. An easy-to-understand "history" of Plovdiv 📍U.
