You will experience real winters in Plovdiv

Summers in Plovdiv are beautiful, with lots of sun and warm temperatures. Winter is also wonderful if you're prepared to deal with cold weather and, yes, snow. Plovdiv does have snow throughout the winter, notably in January and February. Temperatures might fall below 10°C, causing increased traffic congestion, probable delays in public transit, and a lot of puddles and slush on the streets. Of course, there's a bright side to it: snowy Plovdiv is a breathtaking sight!

Plovdiv's Old Town is one of the finest reasons to visit the city at any time of year, but the city's old Bulgarian architecture looks especially stunning when covered in snow. Set aside some time to explore these magnificent streets and lanes and see what you may uncover hidden away! Some trips are only available seasonally, but not the Free Plovdiv Tour! This fantastic walking tour lasts approximately three hours and includes the most essential sections of the city. It is available every day of the year (even holidays!). To navigate Plovdiv's cobblestone streets, wear comfortable shoes.

The Plovdiv German Christmas Market takes place every year at Stefan Stambolov Square. This holiday festival runs from the end of November until the 25th of December (though this date may change each year). If you're in Plovdiv over the Christmas season, you'll have plenty of time to spread some seasonal happiness!
