An amazing place! I recommend you to visit Minsk as a tourist attraction. An object of modern architecture. From the observation deck, the city is at a glance. The experience is unforgettable.

The library's observation deck was praised to us and we went to it with delight, but the disappointment began with the ticket office! The queue is huge and I had to pay for the student as an adult, because we are from Russia!!! Having risen to the platform, we didn't see anything special, the visors and the windows are all stained, a good view is only along the corridor to the platform and from the elevator cabin! The price is very high for such a spectacle!

We started our acquaintance with Minsk from the National Library and did not regret it: the view from the observation deck is amazing. In addition, a virtual city tour is also available here - by scanning QR codes, you can get information about all the main sights of the city and plan your further route.

The real treasure of the Nation. A huge amount of literature, convenient search, there is an opportunity to copy documents. For 2 rubles. you can go on an excursion, there are various exhibitions, including the museum of ancient books (more than 90,000 copies). An inexpensive cafe is available to visitors.

It is a very beautiful place where it is just nice to walk and see the wonder of architecture. The illumination of the building itself is made of very high quality and you will admire the photo for a long time

The view is good. Elevator.. Overview. Cafes under the observation deck are pleasing. I am not happy with the attitude. Spending 30-40 minutes queuing at the checkout is not a pleasure at all. I was especially surprised that after waiting for almost 15 minutes when the ticket office opens after a technical break, and they are there every two hours starting at 12, an employee came out and said: Why are you standing at the box office, you can buy online tickets to the viewing room?! It was brilliant. By the way, you can't even use SIM cards from Russian ones.

Well, there is no "delight and wow effect", of course. There is nothing to do on the observation deck for more than 5 minutes. The cafe that's there is on 3 out of 5…

Everything is cool! The building is beautiful and original. But the casino's advertising on it spoils the whole impression.

We were on the observation deck, it was very hot - in addition to the weather +29 degrees, there was hot air from the fans. It was impossible to stay more than 5-10 minutes. There is no shadow at all, people huddled in the middle.The review is not circular, but partial.There are no benches. That is, you will not be able to enjoy the views.It is also problematic to take pictures - the city is almost invisible because of the barriers and cables. If someone has not been to such venues, then they may like it. We have something to compare it with (for example, the Vysotsky Tower in the EKB - a circular view, a lot of space, benches, there is always an audio tour about the sights and views of the city). We were sorry for the money we spent

The observation deck did not cause much excitement, the restaurant on it is not bad, you can get to the library, but you need to make a reading and make a contribution, did not go

The observation deck is great, I really liked it. I worked until 23.30. But I think it's better to check the schedule on the Internet before visiting. Wonderful binoculars are installed. I advise you to visit. The entrance fee is 6 rubles for adults,5 schoolchildren, students, children under 6 years old for free. On the 22nd floor there is an art gallery and a cafe.

An interesting building, and of course a cool observation deck. You can go and enjoy the view) tickets are inexpensive, the only disadvantage is a lot of people and a queue for tickets (it is possible to pay by QR code, but payment does not take place on the Russian Mir card, alas)

Excellent observation deck. You can see the whole of Minsk from a bird's eye view. It's a little scary in the rain or strong wind. There are free spyglasses on the site.

An incredibly beautiful place! Unfortunately, we were able to see the library only late in the evening, but even so it made an incredible impression! There is an observation deck that runs until 22-23 (but I can't say that it was very impressive) But the building itself is very large-scale and beautiful!!!

Everything was ruined by the glazing, it should not be transparent from the outside so that the concrete and windows are not visible. That is, the diamond needs to be cut.

They couldn't get into the library itself, because it was a public holiday, and the library closed earlier, they were only on the observation deck. For some reason, the ticket office closes for a technical break and a huge queue waits for 15 minutes. According to the kewar code, it is impossible to pay with a non-Belarusian card. The organizers did not think through this moment . The views are good from the observation deck.

Good afternoon, everyone! The whole family was disappointed by the National Library. When buying tickets, we were very shocked, as the children's ticket was considered to be full. Only children studying in the Republic of Belarus have benefits. And our child turned out to be Russian. It is unpleasant that money is made even on children. We didn't see anything impressive on the observation deck, we were even disappointed.

A very beautiful building made of glass. A very unusual shape. We went up to the observation deck on a high-speed observation elevator to the 23rd floor. Really, the beauty is extraordinary, the whole city is from a bird's-eye view. It's an exciting sight. You just need to see everything with your own eyes. You won't regret it. There is a cafe on the 22nd floor.
