You're standing at the National Museum of Military History in Sofia. The city centre is only a few minutes away, but here it's all about war and defence. Have a look around. The museum has a huge outdoor park of two and a half hectares, packed with heavy military hardware. There are more than 280 pieces on display: tanks, aircraft, artillery and even missile systems. You're walking among steel giants that were built to impress.
