Plovdiv's museums are generally fairly compact, meaning you can get around them in anything between 10-30 minutes and have good explanations in English, though they are somewhat pricey unless you take advantage of the multi-site tickets that are on offer.

Six sites in the 'Old Plovdiv' (Balabanov, Hindliyan and Nedkovich Houses as well as Zlatyu Boyadzhiev Gallery, Dimitar Kirov Exhibition and Ancient Theatre) have the same price: 5 leva for adults, 1 lev for children and students. For 15 leva you can buy a ticket that gives you entry to all five.

The City Art Gallery also does an all-in-one ticket price for its sites: the permanent exposition on ul. Saborna, the Icon "Gallery, the Tsanko Lavrenov and Encho Pironkov exhibitions and the temporary exhibition on the main shopping street: Adults 5 leva, children and students 3 leva.

Many of the museums are closed on a Monday.
