Jewish Walking Tour of Plovdiv
Overview
Step into the lesser-known yet profoundly moving Jewish history of Plovdiv — one of Europe’s oldest continuously inhabited cities. On this immersive walking tour, you’ll explore the city through the lens of its Jewish community — from ancient roots to modern-day revival.
Discover the Forgotten Corners of History
Wander through charming streets once home to prosperous Jewish merchants, doctors, and bankers. Hear and see the story of one of Europe’s oldest synagogues and learn about the vibrant Sephardic traditions that flourished here.
Experience Memory and Survival
Stand where acts of solidarity defied the darkest moments of WWII. Visit the Jewish School, the Monument of Gratitude, and learn the story of how Bulgaria’s Jews survived the Holocaust through a rare and inspiring civil stance.
