Plovdiv will take part for the first time in the Open Doors Days of the European Parliament, Oct.6 to 9, in Brussels, with the presentation of the project "Cultural and Historic Routes". The project will be presented during a workshop titled "Tourist Innovations and Sharing".

The project, as we have already informed you, features the creation of three routes representing three different culture layers: Ancient times, Late Middle Ages and Reneissance. Each route will bear a different way of marking it to facilitate tourists in their tours around the older parts of the city...

The project is a donation by "Bulgarian Culture Haritage" Association and has been funded by the "Tianadera" Foundation, New York, and Mutual Understanding Trust, New York. Main partner is the Williamstown Art Conservation Center.
