Pazardzhik is a city that can boast of historic buildings and valuable museum collections. There is also a zoo that is perfect for family trips.
The city was founded during the Ottoman rule in a place where trade routes crossed. Its name means "little bazaar" and refers to the role this place has played for centuries. So far, many Turkish traces have been preserved in the buildings, including a mosque from the mid-17th century and a polygonal clock tower.
Among the most important attractions of Pazardzhik are its museums. The most valuable collection is in the Museum of Regional History, where in addition to collections from the modern era, you can also see the remains of ancient buildings found in the area. People interested in folk culture and everyday life can visit the Ethnographic Museum, and the Stanisław Dospewski Museum has an extensive collection of Orthodox art.
A good place for a family rest is the Pazardzhik Zoo, where mainly animals from the temperate climate zone, including the Bulgarian mountains that live in the wild, live.
