It’s been a few weeks since the novel Coronavirus took hold of our life. Petty everyday squabbles gave way to frantic hand washing and Netflix, the walk to the grocery shop turned into a marvellous special event, putting on lipstick to throw out the trash became something normal… Even though no one can see the lipstick beneath the mask. While quarantine measures over the COVID-19 pandemic have transformed our lives completely, our city is also witnessing its own transformation – a lonely one, but beautiful.

Tucked safely between the four walls of our disinfected homes, we might not be able to see what Plovdiv looks like without the thousands of people going about their business. But a few brave photographers ventured out to take photos for the upcoming generations. We bring them to you – enjoy the beauty of springtime Plovdiv during the COVID-19 quarantine!

Stay safe. Stay home. And soon we will all have the opportunity to enjoy our beautiful city. 🙂
