11. Plovdiv – more than 6 thousand years old
Plovdiv, located in Bulgaria, is the second largest city in the country and has been populated since 4000 BC. Before becoming a Roman city, the place functioned as a type of settlement. Afterwards, it was dominated by the Byzantines and Ottomans until, finally, it became part of Bulgaria. Nowadays, Plovdiv is a great cultural center and a great attraction for those who have always wanted to see ancient Roman buildings up close, such as the city's ancient amphitheater and aqueduct.
Considered the oldest city in Europe, Plovdiv was actually once called Philippopolis. As we said above, during its long history of existence, it was dominated by different peoples such as Thracians, Romans and Ottomans, and that is precisely why it is possible to see the marks of each one in the houses and monuments spread across the city. Visiting it is very easy, as Plovdiv is located just two hours from the capital of Bulgaria, Sofia. If you walk well, it is possible to see the main points of the city in 3 hours, concentrating your efforts in the Old Town, as this is where the most interesting tourist attractions are located.
