Nebet Tepe
Небет тепе
The Thracian-Roman fortress ruins at the city's origin, with views over the Maritsa River and the whole city. A popular sunset spot.
Nebet Tepe was the earliest settlement in Plovdiv, with people living here as early as 4000 BC. The hilltop still has remains of Thracian walls, Roman and medieval fortifications, and a secret tunnel leading down to the river. Entry to the site is free. The rock terraces overlook the Maritsa River, the New Town and the mountains beyond, and people gather here to watch the sunset. It is at the northern end of the Old Town, about 10 minutes' walk from the Old Town center. The rock surface is slippery, so watch your step.
