Yambol

One of the few purely military history museums in Bulgaria. Various World War II and Cold War vehicles and weapons are exhibited in the yard; indoors, among other things there are amusingly executed dioramas of weapons "in their natural environment", including a rare Fahrpanzer mobile armoured gun turret. Some of the Nazi German vehicles in the collection were recovered from a Cold War-era defensive line on the border with Turkey (a NATO country), where they had been buried in the ground as permanent gun emplacements after WWII. This includes unique vehicles made by splicing Soviet guns to German hulls. The museum was created in 2013, in a former military compound; its portal is also a restored 1920s memorial to the fallen of the 29th Yambol Infantry Regiment.

Relatively small for a regional history museum, with collections stretching from pre-history to the 20th century. Number 99 of the (more than) 100 National Tourist Sites of Bulgaria, thanks to Yambol's rearward position in Cyrillic alphabetical order.

In the Ottoman Empire, a bedesten, or "bezisten" in Bulgarian rendering, was a strongly built warehouse for precious goods that could also be used as a covered bazaar. This one was built in the first half of the 1500s, making it the oldest still-standing building in Yambol. Listed as a heritage building, today it's used as a cultural-information centre and a community hall for concerts, weddings, and other events.

An archaeological reserve containing the scattered ruins of a Thracian/Graeco-Macedonian/Roman settlement that existed between the 4th century BCE and the 6th century CE. Small on-site museum with statues, mosaics, and other archaeological finds. There was a Thracian sanctuary on the small hill nearby, which offers a good view of the site from the top. Archaeological surveys are ongoing.
