Plovdiv Old Town Audio Guide in 9 Languages with 72-Hour Access

A Plovdiv Old Town audio guide lets you explore this captivating historic district with your own phone, without keeping pace with an organised tour. Walk between cultural landmarks, choose where to stop and listen to the stories behind the places that catch your attention. You receive a map featuring 25 cultural sites and recordings in 9 languages, with access lasting 72 hours from your reserved date.

This is a self-guided walk, not a tour accompanied by a guide. When you approach a site shown on the suggested map, select its route number to play the relevant recording on your phone. You can combine sightseeing and listening in whatever way suits your interests and walking pace.

A route through the history and views of Old Plovdiv

The suggested starting point is the Roman Stadium, followed by the Ancient Theatre. From there, the route takes you along Saborna Street towards Balabanov House and the Armenian Church. You can also take in the panoramic views from Nebet Tepe.

The walk then continues along the Street of Crafts towards the Small Basilica and the Catholic Church. Finally, you head down into Plovdiv’s modern city centre, where the suggested tour ends.

The sites are arranged as a circular route to make sightseeing easier, but you do not have to follow a fixed sequence. You choose which places to walk to and which recordings to hear. Completing the suggested walk generally takes between 2.5 and 4 hours, depending on your pace. This is the estimated walking-tour duration, not the limit on your audio-guide access.

What the audio guide includes

• 72-hour access to the Plovdiv Old Town audio guide for one person on one device.
• A map featuring 25 suggested cultural sites.
• Recordings in Bulgarian, Greek, Turkish, Russian, German, French, English, Italian and Spanish.

During your active access period, the recordings are available at any time, and you can choose the content that interests you. The service is used independently for the selected number of participants; the included access is for one person on one device.

Receiving and activating your access

After reserving a date, you receive an email containing a link to the player and a map showing the route and its sites. Check your spam folder as well so that you do not miss these details.

The recordings become active on the date selected when making your reservation. You then have 72 hours to listen, deciding for yourself when to use the guide and which parts of the route to explore.

Getting ready for your walk

• Have a charged phone, mobile internet and headphones ready — all are required to use the service.
• Wear comfortable walking shoes.
• Choose clothing suited to the season, as you will be exploring on foot.

The experience is also suitable for children, with a stated minimum age of 6. There is no guide accompanying participants in person.

Planning your visit and additional admission costs

The audio guide can be used every day throughout the year with an advance reservation. The source conditions specify a lead time of at least 30 hours before the selected date.

If a site you choose to enter charges admission, that fee is not included in the experience. The map and audio recordings do not serve as an entrance ticket.

The organiser states that cancellation is free up to 24 hours before the reserved time. This is a condition of the supplier’s offer, not an automatic general rule for Adventico vouchers.

Give someone Plovdiv at their own pace

Choose an Adventico voucher for yourself or someone who loves discovering cities on foot. It is a gift of independent cultural exploration; buying the voucher does not by itself confirm a date or immediately activate the audio guide. Access is arranged after a reservation has been made for the chosen day.
