In Plovdiv, the holiday season is already felt with the first lights that illuminate the streets and squares. The city acquires that cozy winter character that makes people walk longer, look in the windows and look for the perfect gift.
The ice rink is once again one of the most visited places. Families, children and groups of friends take turns on the ice and give the space a lively rhythm and a pleasant noise of laughter and sliding.
The Christmas market in front of the Central Post Office offers an excellent combination of food, drinks and all kinds of treats. The wooden houses gather curious visitors, and the aroma of mulled wine mixes with music and conversations.
Traditionally, the space above Gladstone Street is filled with the stalls of Kapana Bazaar, which focuses mainly on handmade products.
The Old Town this year also impresses with Instagram photo corners.
This is how the city welcomes December – calmly, cozy and with enough festive spirit to make you smile.
And we hasten to urge you not to miss the evening walks and enjoy the magic of perhaps the most lavish Christmas decorations to date in the City Under the Hills.
