Plovdiv (Bulgarian: Пловдив, pronounced [ˈpɫɔvdif]), is the second-largest city in Bulgaria, standing on the banks of the Maritsa river in the historical region of Thrace. Plovdiv is the cultural capital of Bulgaria and was the European Capital of Culture in 2019. It is an important economic, transport, cultural, and educational center. Plovdiv joined the UNESCO Global Network of Learning Cities in 2016.

Plovdiv is situated in a fertile region of south-central Bulgaria, on the two banks of the Maritsa River. The city has historically developed on seven syenite hills, some of which are 250 metres (820 feet) high. Because of these hills, Plovdiv is often referred to in Bulgaria as "The City of the Seven Hills".
