The surrounding area offers the vastness of the Thracian Plain and the rising hills of the Rhodope Mountains to the south and the Balkan Mountains to the north. The name “A city under seven hills” is derived from the location of the city districts in the middle of seven hills.

Visitors arriving for the renowned annual International Fair can visit the old city with its ancient architecture and special charm. For fans of historical sights, the amphitheater in the city center is a must-see, and another ancient sight is the Roman stadium.

Plovdiv is rightly considered the center of art and culture. Modern painters are fascinated with its unique spirit which lends inspiration, especially in the old city. The Dyakov Gallery is one of the frequently visited galleries, founded by a merchant trading in tobacco who was a fan of art. The gallery is in the merchant’s family home.

Sports facilities are also plentiful. The city boasts the largest sports complex in Bulgaria, with a stadium, a rowing base, a covered swimming pool, open and covered tennis courts, and an athletic track.
