It’s hard to imagine what ancient civilization was like when you just read about it in history books. To make it really come alive, visit these ancient cities that are still thriving today while maintaining their ancient roots.

Athens, Greece

The home of modern civilization and philosophy is still buzzing today. Athens was thought to have been inhabited since sometime between the 7th and 11th century BC, and there are so many archaic buildings like the Acropolis, the Parthenon, and more, that show just how strong the Greeks were thousands of years later.

Plovdiv, Bulgaria

Although your mind probably doesn’t jump straight to Bulgaria when you think of ancient places, but in truth, Plovdiv, formally known as Philippopolis by the Greeks, was once a major city for the Romans, and later, the Ottomans. Plovdiv dates back at least 6,000 years, and is actually the second largest country in Bulgaria.

My first post from the European Capital of Culture – Plovdiv. Our your trough the European Capital of Culture begins at Hissar Kapia – the last defensive facility of the Eastern Gate of ancient Philippopolis. It was the main link between Philippopolis and Byzantium (later Constantinople). The ancient city of Plovdiv (aka Philippopolis), where many cultural monuments and museums are located, attracts tourists with its preserved antique style. When you pass through Hissar Kapia, you will see the ancient city. Visit the European Capital of Culture – Plovdiv! There are many places in the city and in the vicinity that you can explore and which you will surely like! Първият ми пост от Европейската столица на културата – град Пловдив. Нашата обиколка из Европейската столица на културата започва от Хисар капия – последното отбранително съоръжение на Източната порта на древния Филипопол. През нея се е осъществявала основната връзка между Филипопол и Византион (по-късно Константинопол). Старинния град Пловдив (или Филипопол), в който са разположени много паметници на културата и музеи, пленява туристите със запазения си старинен стил. Той се разкрива веднага след преминаването през Хисар капия. Посетите Европейската столица на културата – Пловдив!

Jerusalem, Israel

As a religious capital, Jerusalem is clear in its importance. But a lot of people forget it’s truly an ancient city with a lot of historical importance. Jerusalem is said to be anywhere from 4,000-5,000 years old, and really it’s a miracle it still stands today after being attacked so many times throughout history.
