Explo History and Description:
For all the people interested in military history, this is a place to go in Bulgaria.
The museum is divided in 2 parts : in the halls of exhibits, you can check out weaponry and uniforms from the Bulgarian army. This part of the museum brings you also an interesting overview of the Bulgarian military history and the different wars the country participated to.
The second part of the museum is the park where dozens of military hardware are stored.
For those interested in WW2, note the collection of German battle tanks, including PzIII and Stugs...

You can take pictures in the park, but if so you need to pay 5Lv.

Update from the forum
The Bulgaria Army Museum moved about 5 yrs. ago across town to a very nice new location. The exhibits are excellent both outside & inside the museum itself. You will have to contact a Bulgarian tourist agency to locate the location for you as even taxi drives don't have a clue of how to get there. But it is REALLY worth a visit!
