The history of this theatre is pretty interesting. It is believed that this theatre was used in the Thracian era for gladiatorial and hunting games, amongst others. Interesting\u2026isn\u2019t it! it was also believed to be the seat of the General Assembly of the Thrace. These days, the theatre is still used for cultural events including the opera, music, and drama. The annual events of the city like the International Folklore Festival and the Rock Festival are held here. This stunning piece of architecture has stood there for ages and it slightly reminds you of the Colosseum in Rome. <\/p>\n<h3>3.

Many games have been played in this stadium and is monumental in that sense. These games are said to be organized by the General Assembly of the province of Thrace. The seats here are made of marble blocks. But the most interesting part of this stadium is at the Roman Stadium square, where the northern curved part is located. A vaulted passage was discovered under those seats, which is again connected to the tracks. In some places, you will also find Greek inscriptions and other interesting pieces of history. It is a thing of architectural beauty that you should definitely not miss. The place also has a colorful wall with the drawing of the missing parts of the stadium, as they would have imagined it to have been in that era.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Suggested Read:<\/strong> <a class=\"mustread-link\" href=\"https:\/\/traveltriangle.com\/blog\/bulgaria-nightlife\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bulgaria Nightlife: 15 Hip And Happening Places For A Dazzling Time<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>4.

It had its own army and administration. The beauty of this fortress is that it has been a fortress not only for the Thracians, but also for the Romans, Byzantines, Crusaders, Bulgarians, and Ottomans. You can see glimpses of every era at this fortress. Archaeologists have also discovered a castle, complete with living quarters, a church, cisterns, and a tower, which are all connected by stone steps. They also found a church courtyard, along with the Holy Mother from Petrich Church, under the castle. This architectural delight is situated on top of a cliff precariously, with a river below, and is one that should not be missed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Suggested Read:<\/strong> <a class=\"mustread-link\" href=\"https:\/\/traveltriangle.com\/blog\/villas-in-bulgaria\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">10 Villas In Bulgaria That\u2019ll Ensure You Have A Luxurious Stay<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>6. Take a Wine Tour<\/h3>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/assets.traveltriangle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Take-a-Wine-Tour.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.traveltriangle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Take-a-Wine-Tour.jpg\" alt=\"Take a Wine Tour\" width=\"300\" height=\"196\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-221276\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpixel.net\/Wineglass-Wine-Tasting-Winery-Wine-Glass-553467\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"imagesource-link\">Image Source<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Yes, you heard that right. This ancient city is also home to one of the most beautiful and oldest vineyards in the world. There are different wine tours that you could take and discover these vineyards. The credit for the vineyards also goes to the Thracians, as they loved a good glass of wine, as it is believed that many of their rituals encompassed the use of this. While you are there, try out their Mavrut and Rakia wine, which are indigenously brewed. Rakia is the preferred one though for its strong taste and brewed locally. If you are adventurous enough, you could even blend the two and have! <\/p>\n<h3>7. Try the Traditional Bulgarian Fare<\/h3>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/assets.traveltriangle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Traditional-Bulgarian-Fare.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.traveltriangle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Traditional-Bulgarian-Fare.jpg\" alt=\"Traditional Bulgarian Fare\" width=\"300\" height=\"196\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-221280\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Rhodope_Mountains_Bulgarian_food_04.JPG\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"imagesource-link\">Image Source<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Plovdiv is a place, where people of different ethnicities live together, in harmony. As they have blended, so has the culture and cuisine of this place. While the place offers cuisines from all over the world, do not miss out on the experience of a Bulgarian Mehana, where they are happy to serve you the best of the authentic fare of this beautiful country. Right from clay pot stews to halloumi cheese to the fresh and colorful shopska (their salad), it is a feast not just for the eyes, but even for your tummy! To pep up the ambiance, these are accompanied by traditional dance performances, which will mesmerize you.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Suggested Read:<\/strong> <a class=\"mustread-link\" href=\"https:\/\/traveltriangle.com\/blog\/beaches-in-bulgaria\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">13 Beaches In Bulgaria You Must Visit For A Laidback Experience<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>8.

It is called the \u201cKapana\u201d, which literally means \u201cThe Trap\u201d, and it is called so because once you get in there, you would not come back any time soon. These are for two reasons, one is that the alleys there are too narrow and has a lot of twists and turns that you will actually get lost and the second reason is that it is a shopping paradise! Galleries, workshops, studios, and shops \u2013 you will find absolutely everything here. These alleys are even dotted with art spaces and all of it is so colorful, it looks like a long and never-ending flea market of sorts. There are also the occasional festivals, concerts, and forums held here.   <\/p>\n<h3>9. Do some pub hopping<\/h3>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.traveltriangle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/pub-hopping.jpg\" alt=\"pub hopping\" width=\"700\" height=\"464\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-266197\" \/><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pixabay.com\/nl\/photos\/bar-publicatie-caf%C3%A9-oprichting-2209813\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"imagesource-link\">Image Credit: ID 12019 for Pixabay<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Plovdiv is not just about monuments and the ruins, or even the museums. Yes, you will be surprised to find that Plovdiv has evolved beyond that tag and has a spectacular nightlife. Bars and pubs are found in plenty in this city. We suggest that you do not just stick to one, but to do a round of pub-hopping, to get the best of everything. Of course, the best place to start would be the Kapana. Even in these pubs, some are historic and some are uber-chic places. Some of them have DJs playing some great music while a few others have live music bands. Do not miss out on this.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Suggested Read:<\/strong> <a class=\"mustread-link\" href=\"https:\/\/traveltriangle.com\/blog\/festivals-in-bulgaria\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">12 Legendary Festivals In Bulgaria: Rejoice The Balkans Local Traditions<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>10.

One of them happens to be the Aviation Museum. This one is right next to the city airport and is a wonderful place to visit. The key attraction here is the Arado 196 A-3, a German seaplane, which is the last surviving model of its kind. Another interesting thing includes the original descendable spacecraft of the first Bulgarian astronaut Georgi Ivanov, along with his original space suit and the parachute. What is also interesting are the collection of space equipment and space foods that the museum houses. One thing that you should definitely not miss when you are here are the collections dedicated to Asen Hristov Yordanov, who is known to be the creator of the first Bulgarian airplane. This is one of the most fun <strong>things to do in Plovdiv.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Further Read:<\/strong> <a class=\"mustread-link\" href=\"https:\/\/traveltriangle.com\/blog\/places-to-visit-in-bulgaria\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">21 Beautiful Places To Visit In Bulgaria That Are A Treat To Your Eyes<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Plovdiv is a city steeped in history and culture, but also has moved ahead with times.
