What to remember

You’re strongly recommended to wear a hat and a pair of sunglasses, as well as to use a SPF, because Plovdiv can get very hot during the summer
You're also suggested to bring some warm clothes with you, even during the summer, because Koprivshtitsa is located in the mountains, more than 1000 m above sea level, and the weather conditions can change within minutes
Most of the streets in Koprivshtitsa and the Old Town of Plovdiv are cobbled, so you’re strongly recommended to wear comfortable walking shoes
