The opportunity to go one or more routes near Plovdiv is for those children who love hiking and are interested in natural objects rather than beautiful city buildings. The idea of going on a small hike-adventure with crossing rivers and conquering the surrounding rocks may appeal to a teenager. At the same time, kids can just walk a couple of hours on a flat road surrounded by local nature. There are also many roads for cycling in addition to hiking trails. So if the child knows how to ride a bike, it is worth going together to conquer the suburbs of Plovdiv.

If the child loves animals, or at least is not afraid of them, then you can go for a horse ride. There are stables on several nearby ranches like Buffy. The instructor will take very young children to his saddle. Children a little older can already ride a pony. A child older than 8 years can be put on an adult horse. Local horses are accustomed to walk step by step along the established route. So you can not worry about safety. Bright impressions will be guaranteed to the child. Just do not go on a trip for a few hours. This can lead to muscle pain due to a lack of experience. If the child likes the role of the rider, then you can take a few private riding lessons.

There are places in the city where you should definitely go with a child of any age. It is, of course, Old Plovdiv. It is one thing to read about ancient civilizations in a history textbook, and quite another to see ancient buildings with your own eyes. Your child will not remain indifferent at the sight of the ruins of the ancient stadium, where sports competitions between the Romans were once held. You can also visit the well-preserved theater of the Roman Empire. Older children interested in history will enjoy the ruins of the village of Nebet Tepe.
