Nice staff and beautiful historical items

The castle is beautiful, but not impressive. We enjoyed watching the exhibitions, strolled through the galleries and halls.
I really liked the restored ovens, I was delighted with their variety and shapes. The bathing place was very impressive - I have not seen this anywhere else. The restored interiors are very beautiful.
The halls with the exhibition of weapons interested men, I enjoyed fine art and icon painting with pleasure.
Each
The surrounding area is clean, partially under construction.

I have a rule: on excursions and vacations, go only to new places (the world is huge, I want to see as much as possible) and without prior preparation along the route, the history of interesting places (get impressions from scratch).
This September, I finally went to Belarus. What I knew about it: a friendly country, friendly people, beautiful and spacious Minsk, wonderful sanatoriums. Everything.
I chose a route through the western part of the country: Grodno, Belovezhskaya Pushcha, Brest. And I couldn't believe that in Grodno such a century-old story would open up in front of me, when both the second and third visits would not be enough to feel it in the buildings, streets, where the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and the Soviet Union left indelible traces.
And Belovezhskaya Pushcha! Not just a big forest with bison (as I imagined), but endless kilometers of forest wealth and a wide variety of animals.
And here is Brest. I am ashamed to admit, but I did not know that there is the city of Brest, beautiful and with its most interesting history, and the Brest fortress, which everyone knows about as a symbol of the courage of the Soviet people.
And that's what not only amazed me, but delighted me - these are hundreds of kilometers of cleaned, well-groomed fields, completely ready for the new season.
It has been decided, I am temporarily violating my rule and in the summer I will go to Belarus again on the same route, but already well prepared.

The oldest landmark of the city of Grodno. From this high hill above the Neman, the city itself began many centuries ago. Therefore, any tourist coming to Grodno is simply obliged to visit the Old Castle. And it makes sense for permanent residents of the city to look here again on a free day to refresh their impressions - fortunately, once a month there is a day of free access. History lovers will be glad to get acquainted with the exposition of the museum located inside the Old Castle, covering the period from the Paleolithic era to the brilliant Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Well, for those who are far from historical research, it will certainly be interesting to look at the interiors in which the rulers of one of the largest and strongest states of medieval Europe lived, to see the royal bathhouse and much more from the life of that era. And all of them, of course, will get great pleasure from the view from the observation deck of the Castle - the ancient and beautiful city of Grodno, the bystry Neman, the forested hills and the Kalozhsky Church, which has survived many centuries - the oldest stone Orthodox Church in Belarus. So if fate brings you to Grodno - regardless of the time of year, be sure to take the time and visit the Old Castle!

If you come to Grodno, the Old Castle is a must-visit. However, so is the new one. The place is very beautiful. The majestic castle hill above the Neman, near Kolozhsky Park, you can walk around the castle and in the park. Both day and night, beautiful views of the city and the river open from the castle hill. There are options to purchase a walking tour and learn a lot of new and interesting things. It's definitely worth it.
I strongly recommend visiting!

The main attraction of Grodno.
I liked everything. There is an exhibition on each floor. There are many interactive screens. There are toilets and a souvenir shop. A very cute dog Kuzya met me at the entrance.
I really hope that the territory behind the fence will be put in order soon.

A very beautiful old castle! Its location on a high, steep hill is impressive! The interior is very beautiful, although there is a lot of modern decoration. At the same time, if you get inside, be sure to go through all the rooms, do not be lazy to climb higher! It's worth it! Moreover, there is an exit to the roof of the castle, which offers a magnificent view of the city!

An excellent museum, even though most of the buildings are new. Multimedia guides (touch screens with information) are very intelligently made. The interiors are amazing! Plus all sorts of long corridors, stairs. And an observation deck with a magnificent view of the Neman! In general, I recommend it. It will take 1.5-2 hours to inspect the entire museum.

For lovers of antiquity and history, for children and their parents - in general, a cool place. My favorite cashier at the entrance, who speaks Belarusian with everyone, is very colorful and memorable at once (Easter egg from a girl with a Kazan purse) . It's a little thing at the entrance. Good restoration. I advise you to take a tour, because you will learn a lot of information about what and why is decorated in the castle, what was built / destroyed and when, from the guide.
If you are walking with young children, keep in mind that the passages of the stairs are quite narrow, spiral-shaped and can scare them (we met a small visitor on the way down, who was very afraid of this).
And one more thing: start the inspection immediately from the observation deck and go down. I have been to the castle for the 2nd time and this hint from the city guide saved me strength during the day.

A wonderful place, a must-visit. I will not retell the story- the kings loved this place, and you will like it too. The restored castle has a good museum, chain mail, sabers, pieces of decor found during research, there is something to see. From the walls of the castle, the views of the Neman river are excellent. Parts of the interior were recreated, local builders did a good job. I enjoyed admiring the castle from afar - I highly recommend the angles from the bridge and from the embankment. Near Kolozhska church, don't miss it either. There is a toilet, there were no problems with parking on weekends in the summer. The city center with a cafe is literally nearby. Have a nice visit!

There were excursions on 10.10.2024 around the Old Castle, accompanied by an incredible guide Lyudmila. We had a very interesting, informative, and most importantly dynamic time. Even after a sightseeing tour of the city, we learned a lot of new things. Thanks to Lyudmila, we will definitely come back in 5 years.

Interesting, informative. But if possible, book a guided tour. I have been convinced many times that if a guide loves his job, then you always want to visit this museum again. I was lucky in the World, and in Nesvizh, and in Novogrudok at Mickiewicz

If you are in Grodno, be sure to visit the Old Castle, which is built on a hill. The exposition itself inside the castle is small, but quite interesting. Go up to the observation deck, which offers a magnificent view of the Neman, walk over the bridge, through the ravine. Do not miss the moment to go down to the river and walk along the embankment. The views of the castle and its surroundings will not leave you indifferent. If you have a little more time than I do, take a walk around the territory of the New Castle, which is located nearby.

A beautiful ancient castle on a hill in the center of the city with a beautiful view of the Neman River. Unfortunately, the castle was damaged during the war, but it was restored - in some places an ancient tab was specially left. There is a museum in the castle, which contains various historical artifacts of this land. Admission - 10 rubles (Belarus) as of 2024.

If you want to get in touch with history, be sure to visit the Old Castle. An interesting place. Halls, corridors, flights - everything immerses in the atmosphere of ancient times. In each hall, the expositions are accompanied by electronic displays with historical information and illustrations. The expositions are thoughtful and informative. At the very top of the castle there is a wonderful view of the city.
Entrance ticket for adults - 10 rubles.
I liked it more than the New Castle.

The castle has been well restored, but the disadvantage is that there are very few historically reliable features left in it, some of the halls are pure fantasy of the reenactors, who relied on how the rooms of the nobility were decorated in that era. I would prefer more authenticity and sleekness for tourists. It is good that some halls are equipped with projectors showing the stages of development of the castle.

выдатны старажытны замак, былы стаўкай польскага караля Сцяпана Баторыя. Замак адрэстаўраваны, унутры цікавыя экспанаты, усе памяшканні замка набліжаны да гістарычнай рэальнасці. Наверсе ёсць назіральная пляцоўка, якая адкрывае агляд на бераг Нёмана. Білет недарагі, ёсць зніжкі для студэнтаў.Хочацца адзначыць лагодную жанчыну, якая прадае квіткі і размаўляе на беларускай, вельмі прыемна пачуць мову.

Красивое место. Посвящено королю Стефану Батори. Представлены восстановленные надвратная часовня, баня с интересной конструкцией подогревающей воду печи (похожа на три самовара один над другим), покои его секретаря.
Можно посмотреть на город и реку со смотровой площадки.
По сравнению с другими замками гораздо проще будет забираться наверх, так как лестницы расширены и имеют привычную высоту.

Unfortunately, team tours are not organized, there are a lot of tourists, it would be great for 10-15 people with a guide.
The staff offers to get acquainted with the information in the interactive counters. But ...
there is a lot of information, if 2 people are reading, the rest in the hall are just "walking".
Audio guides are not provided, it is a pity, this service is very appropriate in such a museum.
There is no coffee.
