Plovdiv, its culture and history

You can start our day at a nice bakery near here called "Yes, cheers." The situation here is very pleasant, the interior is made in light tones. A variety of pastries and desserts are served here, as well as a selection of sandwiches and light snacks, and most importantly, really great coffee is prepared here.

Our acquaintance with the culture and history of these lands begins, for which we went to the ethnographic museum of the city. His collection consists of about forty thousand different cultural values, among which are, in particular, a variety of household items, tools, jewelry and weapons. The exposition of the museum forms a complete picture of culture and life of people who have lived here since time immemorial. It is important to note that the museum is not open on Monday.

Bulgaria is a country known not only for its rich culture and history, but also for its extraordinary nature. The expositions of the Regional Science Museum are devoted to the natural diversity of this country. Here you can learn a lot about plants, mushrooms and animals of the country, see the diverse and unusual amphibians, birds and mammals. The museum also has a hall dedicated to space, where you can see in miniature various asteroid planets and much more.

After a long and interesting excursion through the museums of the city just need to take a short break. You can go to a pretty good Memory Café for that. The interior of this place is made in a cozy and bright style, the atmosphere is quite friendly and you can spend your lunch on a charming terrace outdoors. A variety of snacks, salads and Mediterranean dishes are served here.

The second part of our day was planned to be devoted to sightseeing the most interesting historical sights, and the first thing worth going to Plovdiv Antique Theatre. Of course, the scale of this place is very impressive, given the fact that it was built supposedly in the second century AD, and its capacity is more than five thousand spectators.

The next point of our plan was a visit to one of the oldest Christian temples in Plovdiv - the Church of St. Constantine and Helen. The temple is located in the heart of the ancient part of the city. This place was a Christian sanctuary during the Roman Empire. During its history, the temple was repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt, and its present appearance was found in 1832.

Nebet Tepe is a small historical settlement, which archaeologists believe was built about six thousand years ago. Repeatedly this place was conquered by various rulers, among them Philip the Great, and later the place was taken over by the Roman rulers. Today, Nebet Tepe is one of the most significant sights in the city, offering a magnificent view of Plovdiv itself and some of its surroundings.

When choosing a place to have dinner, you might want to stay at Mexican restaurant Sombrero. The atmosphere here is very pleasant, the interior is decorated with photo wallpapers depicting various places. The menu pleases with a large abundance of traditional Mexican dishes, including tacos, burritos, tortilla. It is also worth noting the large variety of cocktails.

Today was incredibly diverse and interesting, and unfortunately it has gradually come to an end. Many different impressions remained in memory after various excursions. There's a trip to the country tomorrow. Incredible nature and interesting historical buildings await us there.
