In Plovdiv we’ll visit:
1. The famous “Old town” – a candidate for UNESCO World Heritage Site

The facility, approximately 240 m (790 ft) long and 50m wide, can seat up to 30000 spectators. Today, the northern curved part of the stadium is partially restored and is one of the most recognizable landmarks of the city!
