1) Stroll along the Main Street
The Roman Forum of Philippopolis is a rectangular forum surrounded by the ruins of several ancient administrative buildings at the centre of public, administrative, commercial, and religious life in the ancient city. The Statue of Milo is located along the main pedestrian street in the centre of the city. Over the years, it has become an emblematic place where locals and visitors often stop by to take pictures.

Built in the 2nd century A.D., during the Roman Imperial period, the Stadium of Philippopolis is among the largest and best preserved buildings in the Balkan Peninsula. The stadium, approximately 250m long and 50m wide, could seat up to 30,000 spectators.

2) Visit Dzhumaya Mosque
Dzhumaya Mosque is the main Muslim shrine in Plovdiv and is situated in the centre of today's pedestrian zone, west of the Old Town. The mosque was built on the site of a church soon after the conquest of the city by the Ottoman Army (1363-64).

The Dzhumaya Mosque is one of the oldest cult Ottoman buildings of the Balkans. Its construction shows the influence of Byzantine and old Bulgarian architecture technique. The amazing wall decoration is filled with rich plant ornamentation and quotations from the Koran.

3) Visit some of the churches
A small church existed on the site as early as the 9th century. The church was renovated in 1186 and it became part of a monastery. Both the church and the monastery were destroyed by the Ottoman Turks.
