Haskovo municipality is a transport crossroads between Europe, the Near East and the Middle East, which is a good prerequisite for international commercial and cultural exchange. The basic bus and railway connections between the entrance and the exit boundary points in Bulgaria, which determine to a great extent the successful trade with Greece and Turkey, are located in it.

Haskovo municipality offers a good tourist base, as well as a facilities base for sport, business and cultural events.

The guests of Haskovo are mainly attracted by the healing Haskovo mineral springs and the picturesque “Kenana” - a splendid oak forest with a spacious park, restaurants, tennis grounds, and houses for recreation. The remains of ancient fortresses and mineral pools from the Roman period in Mineralni Bani municipality are of special interest for tourists.

Attractive tourist sights are also Kaleto Fortress and “Sharapanite” (with the best kept “sharapani” – wine cellars dated from the ancient Thracian times – one millennium B.C).
