This ancient roman amphitheater has been restored to a magnificent condition and is well worth a visit during your walk around the old centre of Plovdiv. Apparently plays and concerts are performed there at various times and this must certainly be something not to be missed if you are there at the right time! As with everything in Plovdiv the... More

This roman theatre is very well preserved. We've spent a couple of hours in there chilling and relaxing and just enjoying this beautiful monument! You can walk around freely and explore everything. Entrance is about 4 leva for adults. Students pay 1 leva! More

Great place even when covered in snow. It would rival many others in Europe and it was deserted - we had it all to ourselves - amazing! More

this second century roman amphitheater is in excellent condition, it was originally restored in the 60s but those concrete restorations now blend in nicely with the original stone work. By day it can be viewed as a tourist attraction and on summer evening their are performances of theater and music. More

A sight not to be missed! On a clear day this is the best point that commands a magificent view of the south part of Plovdiv together with Rodopi mountain and the villages in its foot. It's a good idea to read some information about the theatre beforehand, so that you have the idea what exactly you're loooking at. You... More

Fantastic Theater…very well preserved. During my stay in Plovdiv for almost 4 years I watched a few plays there…I think there is a festival during summer one of the best sights in the city. It is located on a hill so the view is also great. More
