About location

Stara Zagora occupies the northern edge of the Upper Thracian Plain in south-central Bulgaria. The city spreads between this broad lowland and the slopes of the Sredna Gora range, a setting that has long made it a regional centre. Its deep past is preserved in the Neolithic Dwellings Museum, which protects remains of homes from a prehistoric settlement, while the Roman city of Augusta Traiana developed here in the early 2nd century under Emperor Trajan. Modern Stara Zagora is a substantial urban centre with tree-lined streets, residential quarters and public parks. Archaeological sites, civic life and the agricultural plain around the city give it a character distinct from Bulgaria’s mountain towns and Black Sea resorts.

Country Bulgaria

Bulgaria occupies the eastern Balkan Peninsula in southeastern Europe. The Danube marks much of its northern border, while the Black Sea shapes a long eastern coastline of ports, beach resorts and historic towns. Inland, the Rila Mountains rise to Musala, at 2,925 metres the highest peak in Bulgaria and on the Balkan Peninsula. Sofia is anchored by the monumental Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, and Plovdiv preserves a remarkably well-preserved Roman theatre above its old town. Across the country, Orthodox traditions, rose-oil production in the Rose Valley and a cuisine shaped by Balkan, Ottoman and Slavic influences give travel a distinctly local character.
