An amazing place, beautiful both outside and inside. But to paraphrase the phrase from the Diamond Hand: Minsk is a city of contrasts! Instead of the expected social advertising or holiday greetings, commercial advertising, including gaming business, is running on the library building. An amazing combination! 🙄

There are good excursions where you can learn a lot about the library, but I haven't been to one for a long time, maybe everything has changed. I spilled a drink there once, the guards told me not to clean it up, which is quite strange. You can work out with lessons if you practice tutoring courses or just do self-study (since there is enough space to settle down). The pass is on the card and sometimes the security is quite unfriendly, which spoils the impression. It is better not to go up to the roof and it is strange that people are allowed there at all, because the fences are flimsy and it is scary to think what will happen if you cling to them.

It's beautiful from the outside, and you can't really see anything from this height. Minsk has been upset for 10 years. It's especially beautiful to look at it in the evening. Near the park: roses bloom in summer. And fountains.

We haven't been to the library itself. We went to the observation deck. It's beautiful especially late at night. The entrance is a bit confusing, there is no clear understanding of the ticket office entrance. Add pointers.

If you haven't been to the National Library of Belarus yet, you should definitely plan a visit! The building in the shape of a faceted diamond creates an incredible visual effect that attracts the eye. As a symbol of the city, it sparkles with its uniqueness and modern architecture, impresses and delights, reflecting the diversity of knowledge and cultural heritage. Spacious halls and cozy reading areas create an ideal environment for studying and immersing yourself in books. The library offers interesting exhibitions and events that make each visit unique. P.S. And don't forget to go up to the observation deck! Watching the beautiful sunset and enjoying the picturesque view of Minsk is simply amazing! This place pleases and will remain in the memory for a long time.

A very unusual building in the form of a crystal in architectural terms. And the most amazing thing is that there is an observation deck on the roof. The whole city is at a glance. There is a cozy cafe with delicious ice cream and coffee on the floor below.

I definitely recommend a visit! The observation deck on the 23rd floor offers a view of a part of the city. Before visiting, make sure that you do not get into the ticket sales break (15 minutes). There is one cashier, one ticket sales window. The queue is alive. Although there is a QR code for purchasing an electronic ticket, but in fact it did not work out to buy it, so we waited for the opening of the ticket office after the break. The elevator is panoramic, you can watch how the view opens during the ascent. We were in August 2024, the prices for the photos correspond to this period. Be sure to visit the restaurant on the 22nd floor. The food is delicious and the presentation is aesthetic. But there may not be any empty seats, book in advance. It will be especially beautiful at sunset in the evening.

A stunning architectural structure. From the outside, you wouldn't say it was a library at all. They didn't go into the library itself, just went to the observation deck. The view from above is breathtaking, I advise you to visit!

After visiting the observation deck, we went to a local restaurant, which is on the floor below. We were delighted with the atmosphere and the cuisine. We were invited to touch the story itself! They brought a Bible in Latin script issued in 1798. It's impossible to convey the feeling when you just turn over the pages that are more than 2 centuries old...

The perfect place. It is cool in summer, warm and bright in winter. It's a pleasure to come once a week to the new arrivals department, and then go down to the 1st floor and have a coffee. You can choose a room for any vibe: a large/small reading room, a table between shelves with books or choose a secluded armchair with large windows 😍 There is free WiFi and there are always several free exhibitions.

One of the most popular attractions in Minsk. The observation deck offers a view of the entire city. I was also pleased with the availability of free binoculars, through which it was possible to examine the architecture of the city in more detail. There is free parking for a car.

We were on the observation deck of the National Library. The view, of course, is amazing! But be prepared for the fact that the observation elevator, which takes you to the 23rd floor, will be occupied. And if there is a delegation there, you risk not getting into it at all. You will be offered to take the usual service elevator. Of course, after the inspection, you can go down on the observation deck. But again, you have to wait from 5 to 15 minutes. This, of course, somewhat spoiled the impression, but it's still worth going up.

Very beautiful locations were made at the library for the new year, despite the crowds of people, they made a beautiful shot. Sometimes Screaming inappropriately, both children and their parents are certainly something, but I try not to focus on such things, after all, free entertainment attracts all kinds of people.…

The pearl of Belarus. An observation deck is available to anyone. Buy a ticket at the ticket office, take the observation elevator to the top. Along the way, you can look into the exhibition gallery, see a photo exhibition or paintings. And on the way back, you can refresh yourself or buy drinks on the same floor. Not so long ago, virtual information was added - QR codes with additional information were posted.

We were at the observation deck, we arrived in April. The entrance on the other side is not central. But everything is signed there, you won't get lost. Enter the ticket office, pay, and take a separate elevator to the top. I recommend you to go and see, so to speak, from a bird's-eye view!

Tickets to the observation deck were bought on the website. The cost of an adult ticket is 10 BYN. We got into cloudy weather with fog. There's not much to see even in clear weather. The entrance to the observation deck is from the back of the library.
