Plovdiv photos

All Bulgaria Virtual Guide's Photo Gallery continues to grow far beyond what I imagined it might be. This one section of favorite Plovdiv photos has been divided into sections of 50 photos each.

Some "critics" have suggested that it would be better to separate these photos according to category. But I do not agree. This section shows Plovdiv as a living entity with a personality, varying as to the season and the whims of its people.

I hope that you will enjoy this wide and varied selection of photos from places around Plovdiv and the region. We are continually updating our photo galleries with dozens of new photos every month. All Bulgaria Virtual Guide is always happy to hear your suggestions of new subjects for our gallery of photos from the Plovdiv Region.
