What to remember

Accessibility:

Remember to bring:

You're strongly recommended to wear a hat and sunglasses, as well as to use a SPF, because Plovdiv can get very hot during the summer
You're also suggested to bring some warm clothes with you, even during the summer, because Koprivshtitsa is located in the mountains, more than 1000 m above sea level, and the weather conditions can change within minutes
Most of the streets in Koprivshtitsa and the Old Town of Plovdiv are cobbled, so you're strongly recommended to wear comfortable walking shoes
This tour doesn't include any food and drinks. You can choose to bring your own lunch with you or to eat in one of the many restaurants/fast foods in Plovdiv
Please note that credit/debit card payments are not possible everywhere (e.g. at museums). There are cash machines in both Plovdiv and Koprivshtitsa, but you're strongly recommended to bring some cash (BGN) with you
