Map:
by car
1. From highway A1(Trakiya): Drive on Tsarigradsko shose str and turn right tp Poduyane. On second traffic light turn left. The museum is at the beggining of the street.
2. From Higway A2 (Hemus): Drive to Poduyane railwaystation and turn left on the traffic light. After three traffic lights the museum in on the right side.

To use national road system you need vignette. You can buy vignette from each petrol station or post office. In BG we have weekly 10 BGN/5 EUR, Monthly 25 BGN/13EUR and yearly 67 BGN/ 33 EUR but you can pay only in BGN. I think on the border the vignette could be bought also in EUR.
Prices of road tax vignettes for cars with non-Bulgarian plates:
| 1 Week | 1 Month | Annual |
| EUR 5,00 | EUR 13,00 | EUR 34,00 |
 |
 |
 |
The vignette prises in 2014 are the same as in 2013, 2012 and 2011, and haven’t been raised since 2011.
Vignettes are are sold in Bulgaria at the border checkpoints and in most of the (chain-) petrol stations.
Look out for the following petrol stations:
| Lukoil |  |
| OMV |  |
| Shell |  |
| Petrol |  |
When you buy a vignette it should be activated for the days you will need it. A vignette is being activated by a” punch system” and when you buy one you will be asked about the day it should be valid from. The weekly vignette is valid for seven calendar days from the day it has been activated from. A monthly vignette is valid for 31 calender days – for example if you buy a montly vignette on 15 of July it will be valid till 15th of August. Things are different with the annual vignette. It is valid for the calender year only – this means that if you buy one annual vignette in October it will be valid untill end of December only (annual vignettes are valid now until 31. January, but this might change in the future).
The day on which the vignette sticker is purchased must not always be the day of the start of its validity. The vignette can be purchased in advance of the desire of the customer. The important thing is that the actual date of its start of validity will be punched.
A vignette sticker is only valid once it has been properly affixed to the vehicle. The mere purchase or possession of a toll sticker does NOT satisfy the requirements for proper payment of the toll. After removing the foil backing, the vignette sticker must be placed without damage directly onto the inside of the windscreen in a location (down right when facing the screen) which is clearly visible from outside the vehicle, where it can be inspected. Short-term toll stickers (1-week and 7-day stickers) must be punched prior to being affixed. Vignette stickers which are not punched or which are not affixed to the vehicle are invalid and one must expect penalties in the event of an inspection. The lower part of the vignette sticker (counterfoil with the serial number) must be retained as a proof of purchase.
