Plovdiv Main Street (Knyaz Alexander I)
Главната улица
Said to be one of Europe's longest pedestrian streets, linking Central Square with Dzhumaya Square, with a Roman stadium buried beneath it.
The main street, officially Knyaz Alexander I Street, runs about 1.75 kilometers. Lined with late 19th- and early 20th-century Neoclassical and Art Nouveau buildings, it is full of shops, cafés and ice cream parlors. At its northern end are Dzhumaya Square and the Roman Stadium. At the southern end it connects to Central Square, Roman Square and Sadinenie Square. It is the city's main axis for shopping and people-watching and remains lively into the evening.
