The Plovdiv City Guides answer what visitors really ask: where to have mekitsa for breakfast and a proper kavarma for dinner, which Old Town houses and Roman sites earn your time, which hill to climb at sunset and where Kapana pours its best wine, rakia and craft beer. Each guide is a short, opinionated list with the reason to go, what to order and one practical tip for every place, and it opens in your browser right after you pay.

Three places from the guides

Camel Gate
