BREST Fortress is a must-visit place if you are traveling in Belarus.
This is our story, the story of the Great Patriotic War and the Soviet people. Guided tours are available on site. You can read everything on the website. The fortress itself is open until 21 o'clock, there is time to walk inside and take a good look at everything.
The territory is large and well maintained.

I definitely recommend visiting the Brest fortress and definitely with an excursion. When you are there and you realize how it was here in 1941, goosebumps run over your skin..... pride in the Soviet soldiers

A great place for walking and visiting attractions and museums, in the place where Soviet troops were the first to fight the German invaders in 1941. You can see a lot for free, take pictures, etc. The cost of museums is acceptable (except for the military, there is the Berestye Museum of local lore and a craft shop) before, the guy rented out military clothes, now he did not find them. I had a great time in my free time.

The memorial complex itself is made in the best traditions. Everything is solemn, monumental. It is worth visiting and showing to the younger generation. The disadvantage is that there are few guides. We arrived at 16 o'clock. The guides work until 17 o'clock. In summer, the flow of tourists increases, and the daylight hours are longer. You can work at least up to 19 hours. An inspection without information does not give anything.

We were in the middle of November. We visited two museums, looked at what was left of the fortress, and reached the memorials and tanks.
We decided to come back late in the evening, to watch it with the lights on. As tourists, we didn't know that there was no backlight or that it was turned on only on May 9th.
In short, there's nothing to lie there in the evening, even the lanterns don't work. Daytime visit only.

Brest Fortress is an outstanding museum dedicated to the heroic deeds of the Soviet people. Well maintained, renovated, lots of originals and exhibits, interesting decoration. But for some reason, reviews about the Fortress of Brest and the weak museum of the city of Brest are mixed up in Yandex reviews.

This is a place that leaves an indelible impression after visiting, everything inside turns upside down and you realize how fragile the world and human life are. A place of sorrow, of remembrance! A place where we, the descendants, can honor the memory of all those who gave their lives for our future.

Everything has been restored very well and beautifully. The territory is very large. But! There is one big BUT! There are a lot of museums on the territory and you need to pay for each one separately! If you add up the prices of all the museums and take into account that you are going there not alone but with your family, then the result is a very round sum! And the souvenirs there are absolutely golden! Pens for 5-8 rubles to sell, this is too much, comrades!

The Brest Fortress is a monumental place, how many emotions and feelings remain here when you walk through the premises and structures. You feel a lot of exciting moments touching stones and bricks, how many people died and blood was shed here. I strongly recommend everyone to visit the fortress and book an excursion, it is imperative to take children here so that everyone remembers and knows what price peace on earth comes at.

To be honest, it's a little weak. The museum is a three-piece. The catacombs are closed!!!! Just go take a picture! Before Brest, Russians are waiting for a traffic police post, where cars with Russian license plates are stopped and you will have to pay for all violations on the territory of Belarus!!! The terminal is right at the post!!! Or they take the STS!!!

Dedicated to all those who fell in the defense of the Brest fortress. This was the end point of our motorcycle ride from Moscow to Brest, which we reached on the second day. Our guide Dmitry was waiting for us, an enthusiastic historian who devoted his life to studying the history of the fortress, searching and translating archival documents, mostly German ones, from which, bit by bit, pictures of that horror, courage and human tragedies open minute by minute. Walking around the fortress is interesting and painful at the same time. Several thousand defenders of the fortress are still buried in shell craters, which are now covered with lawn and rolled up paths. It is painful to see the hacky restoration brickwork against the background of the remains of perfectly made and laid bricks of the tsarist period. That's where you think about irretrievably lost construction technologies. And what amazing stories about the engineering features of fortifications can be heard from Dmitry. Not only to hear, but also to see, having visited places where excursions are not taken, crowds do not go, and many do not even realize what an important role these two inconspicuous redoubts played in history. Before visiting the fortress, I recommend watching feature films about the defense of the Brest fortress. And of course I recommend looking for Dmitry with his unusual excursion. He has his own VK page. Official guides - they know little except for a memorized program for 40 minutes, they will lead you through the newly made monuments, tell you the official versions of well-known historical facts. But that's not it. Don't be like everyone else.

The Northern Gate was our starting point in exploring the Brest Fortress. You can drive a car through them a little further into the parking lot, but there were no places there, so we left the car at the North Gate. The parking lot is quite large, but it is also almost completely filled. We arrived at about 10 a.m., and when we left, there were no seats either on the territory or at the Northern Gate. Be careful, you can drive through the North Gate with one car in each direction!
