Two key highways run into or near Plovdiv, the Sofia-Edirne-Istanbul and the Sofia-Stara Zagora-Burgas routes. A major tourist center, Plovdiv lies at the foot of the Rhodope Mountains, and most people wishing to explore the mountains choose it as their trip’s starting point. There are three train stations and three bus terminals.

Plovdiv has an extensive and well-developed public transport system, including buses and trolleybuses. Some of the lines reach several villages in the vicinity of the city. The regular bus and trolleybus fare is 70 Stotinki (0.70 BGN) per ride, while the cab car-pools fare is 75 stotinki (0.75 BGN). Cab car-pooling is faster, but less comfortable, as the cabs stop to load/unload at any location. Plovdiv is a major road and railway hub in southern Bulgaria: the Trakiya motorway(A1) is only 5 km to the north, while first-class roads lead to Sofia, Karlovo, Asenovgrad, Kardzhali, Stara Zagora and Haskovo. There are railways to Sofia, Panagyurishte, Karlovo, Peshtera, Stara Zagora, Dimitrovgrad and Asenovgrad.

The Plovdiv International Airport is located near the suburb village of Krumovo, southeast of the city. There are plans for its modernisation and expansion. It currently takes charter flights from several European countries.
