Bus Hire in Stara Zagora, Bulgaria

Under a modern apartment block in Stara Zagora sits one of the best-preserved Neolithic settlements found anywhere in Europe. Excavated dwellings dating to around the 6th millennium BC, complete with hearths, storage vessels, and tools left roughly where their owners left them, are protected inside a purpose-built museum, giving visitors an unusually direct look at life in this region nearly eight thousand years ago.

The city carries the local nickname 'the city of the lindens,' earned by the tree-lined boulevards planted through the 19th and 20th centuries, and modern Stara Zagora sits over the ruins of Roman Augusta Traiana, with mosaic floors and forum remains still visible in places around the centre. It's a working regional city rather than a tourist set piece, which suits groups looking for something less crowded than Plovdiv, an hour's drive away.

Roman-era mosaic floors and forum remains from the city of Augusta Traiana are still visible around the modern centre, evidence of Stara Zagora's long continuous history beneath its current streets.
