As a 2019 European Capital of Culture, this ancient city will reflect its Roman, Persian and Ottoman influences, and focus on Kapana, its new creative quarter


普羅夫迪夫是保加利亞第二大城市和普羅夫迪夫州的首府,人口376,918人,以古老、多樣的文化和六千年以上的歷史而聞名,也是歐洲已知之最古老的城市。歷史上,普羅夫迪夫還是古代色雷斯地區最大和最重要的城市。


Plovdiv is the second-largest city in Bulgaria, and one of the two oldest cities in Europe. It sits on the large plain between the Rhodope Mountains on the south and the Balkan Range that runs through the centre of Bulgaria to the north. Both ranges are visible on clear days. The Maritsa River flows through the city on its way southeast before forming the Greek/Turkish border to the Aegean Sea.


普羅夫迪夫位於上色雷斯低地的馬里查河兩岸。保加利亞整個國家大部分地區都非常平坦,但普羅夫迪夫卻以擁有七座山而聞名,其中一座在十九世紀初被毀壞。

有多條重要的道路在普羅夫迪夫交匯,其中一條經過埃迪爾內連接索菲亞與伊斯坦堡,還有一條經過舊扎格拉連接索菲亞與布爾加斯。普羅夫迪夫被認為是羅多彼山脈的門戶,大多數前往那裡的人都會選擇這裡作為出發點。


You cannot come to Plovdiv and miss visiting Kapana district– the first quarter devoted to creative industries. Discover the art galleries and workshops, enjoy a drink in an art cafeteria, or explore the nightlife of Plovdiv with the variety of clubs which will perfectly satisfy your expectations for a wonderful evening out. Kapana is also a venue of various festivals and artistic events.


Kapana is now the creative heart of the city, a pedestrianised area full of shops, restaurants and galleries. In the 1990s it was a parking zone full of ruined houses. The transformation began in 2014, when 10 creative enterprises moved into the area, funded by the European Capital of Culture Foundation, and things have taken off from there. The best place to enjoy the city’s art scene is a space called Cu29. It combines a cafe and gallery and was established by artist Velizar Dimchev to promote emerging talent from Plovdiv. Afterwards grab a drink at Kapana’s coolest cocktail bar, Ginger Tale.


普羅夫迪夫是歐洲最古老的城市之一,有超過六千年的歷史,比羅馬、雅典和君士坦丁堡的年代還要久遠。此地最早的人類痕跡可以追溯到邁錫尼文明時代。馬帝國時期是普羅夫迪夫歷史上最為輝煌的時刻,修建了大量公共建築、教堂、公共浴室和劇院等。如今,在這裡仍然可以看到大量羅馬時代建築的遺址。


Plovdiv is perhaps the oldest continually inhabited city in Europe, whose history began around 6000 BC. It used to have seven tall hills, some of which were used for quarries. It began as a Thracian settlement called Eumolpias. The city has changed its name many times with new settlers and rulers: from Philippoupolis and Pulpudeva ("the city of Philip", the father of Alexander the Great), through Trimontium ("the three hills"), to Pəldin, Pləpdiv (Плъпдив) and Plovdiv. They also left their marks behind: there are several Roman ruins that can be seen in or near the city center area. During the long occupation by the Ottoman Empire, a large mosque, still present, was built in the center of the city. During Communist times, a statue of the unnamed Russian soldier was erected on one of the three main hills which overlook the city.



在第二次世界大戰結束後的共產黨統治期間,普羅夫迪夫是保加利亞民主運動的中心之一。

普羅夫迪夫曾於1981年、1985年和1991年三次舉辦過世界博覽會。
普羅夫迪夫國際展覽會始於1892年,是保加利亞和南歐最大的展覽。




Today, Plovdiv is a famous tourist destination and serves as a gateway to many other points of interest. Plovdiv is well known for hosting the Plovdiv International Fair twice a year and for its ancient, medieval and enlightenment sites.


普市已有一千多年的歷史,是保民族復興的發源地之一,保民族英雄波特夫、列夫斯基和大作家伐佐夫都曾在這裡生活過。該市地處保中南部最富庶的農業區,四周平原寬廣,土地肥沃,盛產糧食、水果和蔬菜 。

普市處於貝爾格萊德至伊斯坦布爾的鐵路線上,曾經是歐亞通道上重要的貿易中心。自1933年起,該市每年都要舉行春秋兩季國際博覽會,為保工商界與世界其他國家的商業界人士提供相互交流和合作的機會。

普市的主要古蹟有:以雕花祭壇和階梯式古鐘樓聞名的巴利尼教堂、陳列古羅馬帝國石刻的歷史博物館和兩千年前的古城牆以及古羅馬露天劇場等。


普羅夫迪夫位於馬里查河上游,羅多彼山北側,是保加利亞第二大城市。普羅夫迪夫歷史上曾是馬其頓王國都城,是重要的軍事要塞。普羅夫迪夫坐落在馬里查河南岸,分東、西兩部分。東區是特里蒙其烏姆舊城,多古老建築物,這裡集中了普市傳統建築的精華,在保建築史上也佔有十分重要的位置。普羅夫迪夫溝通中歐和西亞的國際鐵路幹線建成以後,發展成為保加利亞南部最大的交通和貿易中心,各種產業蓬勃快速發展,帶給這座城市勃勃的生機。


我去的當晚剛好遇到保加利亞的國慶日,所以現場有放火,大家都拿著保加利亞的旗子揮舞







Various sites and activities turn Plovdiv into a real treasure on Earth, which must be discovered. Culture and architecture: The pearl of the city – The Old Town has preserved historical layers from Prehistorical, Thracian, Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, middle Ages, Revival and Modern Times. Extremely well-preserved are the Roman monuments and mosaics, as well as the churches and the Revival houses, most of which have been turned either into museums, or boutique hotels and restaurants.


普洛夫迪夫市老城

老城位於普市中心的山丘之上,歷史上曾作為守衛用的城堡。這裡集中了普市傳統建築的精華,在保建築史上也佔有十分重要的位置。城內的許多狹窄的街道至今還保持著古老的風貌,居民房屋上層都用斜拱承托,層層凸出,頗具特色。不少民居被闢為博物館,有的已被命名為國家重點文物保護單位。


Hisar Kapia is a medieval gate in Plovdiv's old town and one of the most famous tourist sights in the city. The gate was built in the 11th century AD over the foundations of a gate from Roman times. Hisar Kapia is one of the three entrances to the acropolis of ancient Plovdiv. During the rule of the Ottoman empire revival houses were embedded in the remains of the old stone walls around the gate.


Old Plovdiv is compact and walkable, with the main downtown road blocked to car traffic. There is a good collection of Bulgarian revival buildings in use as museums, hotels, and restaurants etc. and is worth a visit if you have a chance.


Plovdiv was built on seven hills. There are actually only six now: one was quarried for materials to construct the city centuries ago. The most popular for tourists is Nebet Tepe, one of the three hills of the Old Town. The earliest archaeological remains date from 4,000BC (Plovdiv claims to be the oldest continually inhabited city in Europe). But Bunardzhik Tepe, also known as Alyosha Hill, with its huge Soviet soldier statue looming at the summit, is particularly special. The view from the top is superb and it’s often a setting for open-air parties.


Plovdiv is located on seven hills which perfect places for sport and cultural events. The romantic atmosphere of the city can be felt everywhere – whether enjoying Lake with the Singing fountains, or having a drink in an art cafeteria.

Top events all-year-round: Plovdiv regularly hosts high-level events set in various areas, which venues include some cultural sites.




普洛夫迪夫古羅馬劇場

劇場位於普市老城南門,建於公元二世紀,是在一次施工中偶然發現的。劇場全部用白色大理石依山砌成,由下至上有20排大理石座位呈扇形包圍著舞台。舞台高3.1米,兩邊保留著栩栩如生的大理石雕像,是目前保加利亞保存最完好的古劇場。劇場可容納3500人左右,現在還經常用於各種演出。

The Ancient Theatre is Plovdiv’s most famous cultural landmark: a Roman amphitheatre in a dramatic position on a hill above the city. Visitors can enjoy performances by the Plovdiv Opera and its international guests while sitting on ancient marble seats looking over the whole city centre, with the Rhodope mountains in the distance – a breathtaking spectacle.







A touch of art: The diversity of art galleries and museums makes Plovdiv a must-visit destination. Especially attractive is Kapana District, which is the district of creative industries with plenty of art shops offering various artistic activities and trendy cafes and bars with unique atmosphere and coziness. The area of Kapana has become favorite place for the locals as it host number of festivals and artistic events. Kapana District will also play main role in the cultural program of Plovdiv in 2019 when the city will be the European capital of culture.
