From Sofia: Plovdiv, Starosel, and Art Village Day Trip Self-guided tour

Discover the ancient and multicultural city of Plovdiv, the Ancient Cult Temple near Starosel, and the open-air gallery in Staro Zhelezare on a guided day trip from Sofia.
Begin your day at a central location in Sofia, where you will meet your professional team and board a comfortable minibus. Enjoy the scenic drive to Plovdiv, one of the oldest cities in the world.

Plovdiv is a beautiful town with a cheerful vibe. Walk along its cobbled streets and admire the striking architecture. As a vibrant crossroads of many civilizations, the city tells a unique story.

Choose a guided walk or a self-guided audio tour to see how Thracians, Romans, Byzantines, and Ottomans shaped the city over thousands of years. The tour lasts 2 hours and covers all the major sights in the Old Town and Plovdiv's center.

Have an hour of free time in the city center for a local lunch, souvenir shopping, or independent exploration of the "City of Seven Hills."

Next, head to the Thracian Cult Temple near Starosel. This is the largest Thracian burial mound in the Balkans, dating back to the 5th century BC. Explore the monumental "tholos" chamber and learn about the mysterious rituals and elite warrior culture of the ancient Thracians who once ruled these lands.

A short 10-minute drive takes you to the village of Staro Zhelezare. For about an hour, wander through an open-air gallery where the walls of traditional village homes are covered in world-class graffiti. This unique project depicts global celebrities and political leaders alongside the local residents, creating a fascinating bridge between rural tradition and modern global culture.

The day concludes with a relaxing 2-hour drive back to Sofia. This is your time to relax and reflect on a journey that spanned thousands of years—from ancient temples to modern murals.
