Plovdiv Amphitheatre

In exhilarating Plovdiv, you can find one of the most intact ancient theatres around. Marvel at 28 rows of marble seats and a stunning stage – set against a backdrop of city lights – during a trip to one of the best-placed hidden gems in Europe. The views here are astounding from the top of the monument’s steps: a tapestry of city roofs and blue skies. From this vantage point, you’ll also find an outdoor cafe, allowing you to sit and admire the breathtaking landscape at your leisure.

If you’re lucky and plan your visit right, you might even get to attend a concert at the Plovdiv Amphitheatre. This ancient structure, which can seat up to 7,000 people and was once used as a venue for gladiator fights and hunting shows, now plays host to a variety of concerts and performances today. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

I was positively surprised by the city of Plovdiv. Beautiful city and The Ancient Theatre of Philippopolis just amazing. It's really big and back in those days they really knew how to build and what they are doing. It is worth of visiting this ancient, historical place and the whole city of Plovdiv.

The Ancient Theatre of Philippopolis is honestly one of the coolest places in Plovdiv. It’s huge, well-preserved, and the view from the top is amazing. It feels crazy to stand somewhere that old and still see it in such good condition. Super easy to walk around, take photos, and enjoy the atmosphere. Totally worth visiting.

If you look at the price and if you look at the potential of this site, I would not buy tickets if there is no event. Amazing location for live music. I'll advice to check shows in advance; then it will be something nice to visit. Just buying tickets and checking the site, it lacks info signs (there is a digital option, not the best quality). You...

It is a very beautiful and magnificent architecture. Ladies, be careful. The venue is not suitable for high heels, especially if you are trying to reach from the entrance on the very top of the hill to the scene downloads. There are no railings to hold on to, and the stairs are very high!

Great venue. A bucket list must, see a band play here. Best to select wooden seats rather than stone seats... when with a cushion, they are still warm from the sun earlier in the day.
