Had enough of sightseeing? What leisure opportunities are there in and around Plovdiv?
Thankfully there are a lot of parks, with the one in the city centre having undergone a major 'beautification' not too long ago. With so many hills, cycling could be something of a challenge but you could certainly cycle around one of the larger parks.

Mercifully there are several outdoor pools and water parks which are a lifesaver in the hot summer months. As of Summer 2020 there is also a wakeboarding park near Plovdiv, which offers day round entertainment and fun for all ages.

With wonderful Rhodope mountains on their doorstep, most locals, it has to be said, would go out of town for their leisure time.
