A beautiful historical place. Beautiful old castle. Lots of moves and transitions. There are passageways with very narrow stairs and passageways. The territory is clean and well maintained, there is a park and a lake.

The castle, as the guides call it, neither impressed me nor my friends. I'll never go a second time. It looks like a new building. Inside (most importantly) there is no fullness. An ordinary ethnographic museum. There are many rooms in the castle where documents just hang on the walls. It's kind of mundane. Especially considering how much we paid for the trip (4,500 rubles for both excursions)"it's not worth it." But there's not much to see in Minsk either, so it's a good way to spend time. You'd better go to Grodno, a small town. To get there on your own (about 3 hours), there are many churches and churches. However, you need to book round-trip tickets in advance - this is a popular destination.

An excellent castle with its centuries-old history. Definitely worth a visit. It is located an hour's drive from Minsk, it is better to get there with an excursion or by car, public transport can be difficult. There is a beautiful and well-maintained park around the castle.

It's a very interesting place. The exhibition shows the life of the castle from the 16th to the 20th century. You can admire the beautiful ballroom and climb the tower. There are stairs with extreme steps, it is better to have comfortable shoes.

We stayed at Mir Castle for one night. It's very exciting, beautiful and interesting. Beautiful grounds and view from the window. The castle is almost 500 years old. The only negative is the condition of the room. We were in room 302, the bathroom was very high and shabby, the tap water was very bad, and the room itself was quite tired.

I really liked it! We came twice: first for a tour of the castle, the second time with an overnight stay at the hotel. A great place to not just visit, but spend a great weekend. The castle itself with excursions, a hotel, a cafe, a well-groomed area around, a wonderful pond will give a sea of emotions from tenderness on a bench covered with roses to tickling nerves in narrow stone passages and real tears in the department of the Great Patriotic War. And in the evening, an unexpected surprise: real dancing on a real dance floor to real live music!!! (not a boy with a laptop under the microphone, but all the instruments and vocals are alive!) I definitely recommend it, there is something interesting for people of any age. I hope to come for a full weekend))

It's a very cool museum, the columns themselves, and the exhibits are very interesting. The most exciting thing is the towers, especially the toilet at the top of the tower. It was still cool in the prison underground (barely descended) I liked it 🥰💙🫐

The Mir Castle complex was restored after 2000 and is included in the UNESCO Architectural Heritage List. It is necessary to visit with an excursion... it doesn't make sense to just walk like that. The tour is only on the 2nd floor, the third floor and the basement for self-inspection. You can go down to the security rooms on the street and climb the walls. Interesting and informative. Recommend.

It's "scary" and beautiful - I'm afraid of heights, but I've visited all the open towers. There are guided tours of the restored palace, the detailing in the rooms is simply amazing, expensive, gorgeous and worth watching at least once in your life.

The castle complex and the surrounding ones - the tomb, the temple, the lake, the area around all this is a wonderful time to explore and explore. The majestic castle and towers, they are of course very steep in the entrance, but if you have a great desire to observe the beauty of the surroundings from above and good sports training, then you are not afraid of their (stairs) steepness. Well , I will help everyone to go down to the prison , so I recommend that you look at the conditions of detention - it's creepy. Maybe that 's why people were afraid and tried to lead a decent life and observe the biblical commandments . I don't know. We had a great pleasure walking here. I recommend. And I will be grateful to you for

A gorgeous place: a renovated castle, a beautiful park around. Climbing and descending in towers is another quest: narrow passages, steep stairs. But we really liked it. We can take an audio guide, but we didn't get it. It's probably better to take a guided tour. On the territory of the castle there is a hotel, catering points, a souvenir shop. We got to a theatrical show in the courtyard of the castle. And the cherry on the cake was a volley from a cannon before closing. I recommend you to visit and plunge into this atmosphere.

The castle is very beautiful. There is a souvenir shop and a couple of cafes. However, at peak times, all cafes (even in the city) are closed to serve organized groups of tourists. Keep this in mind if you get hungry.

The castle is amazing in size, it is bigger than Nesvizh Castle. Although it seems to be more comfortable inside in Nesvizh. There are a lot of narrow, tall ladders in the towers, obese people can not overpower. And if the crowd descends at the top and rises at the bottom, congestion occurs. Those at the top are shouting: wait, we're coming down... in general, it's fun. You need to relax and feel adventurous. There were crowds of tourists in winter, and probably even more in summer. Most likely, it is better to arrive at the opening itself, when there are fewer people. There is always a small performance with knights in the courtyard.

An interesting place. During the visit, we got to see theatrical performances both in the courtyard and in the castle itself. But, unfortunately, there are a lot of new clothes. Really "historical" in homeopathic doses. Except for some exhibits. It was not possible to convey the real entourage of that era.

The place is beautiful and worth a visit. There is a museum on several floors in the castle territory. You can take a guide or walk by yourself. There is also a cafe on site. The towers have very narrow passageways, so you have to be careful. It will take more than an hour, or even more.

I was pleased with the authenticity of the castle's interior. I was particularly impressed by the narrow staircases in the towers and the walls between them, where there is only room for one person. Because of this, due to the crowds of visitors, the disadvantage is the lack of staff organizing access to the stairs: tourists are forced to wait 10 minutes until tourists are allowed to go up the stairs. Otherwise, the castle is beautiful. I was pleased to have the opportunity to listen to live concerts in the courtyard of the castle, enjoy dramatizations of ancient battles with ancient equipment and weapons.

A wonderful place, the most beloved castle. But since April, there have been a lot of people in the hall. Especially on Saturday, it was difficult to conduct the quest, as the participants even interfered with the guides. I would also like to thank the tour service department for resolving any issues and flexibility.

It's a very beautiful castle. There is a place for boys to have fun. Defensive structures, towers, cannons, stairs, an underground prison. Train your legs to climb everything. It is a pity that the infrastructure around is not developed.

A great place to immerse yourself in history. It is better, of course, to take a tour, because the guides tell us interesting and detailed stories, clarify many interesting facts from history, about which they do not write in books, unfortunately. You will have to climb and descend into the towers using narrow stairs and very high steps, those who have knee problems or suffer from claustrophobia will be uncomfortable. There are special photo zones, but you will have to pay for them, inexpensively, 2 rubles, but still I didn't like it very much, I took off the star for this, because in the Lida castle, you could take photos even with armor and for free. There is a wonderful park near the castle, several cafes and restaurants, prices do not bite, even lower than in Minsk in an ordinary cafe. Definitely worth a visit.

The castle is very interesting! Since the 16th century, the castle was owned by the Radziwills, then the Wittgensteins). The last owners of the castle were the princes Svyatopolk-Mirsky. Now the castle is almost the only example of the original Belarusian Gothic. Of course, there are a lot of new clothes, few things directly from the castle. Lots of children's groups)) I recommend it not for independent walks, but with an excursion.

What's it like to be in a castle that's a little older than my hometown? Would you like to take an interesting tour in it? And live for three days? Perfectly preserved walls and exhibits, rooms and tapestries, the beauty and spirit of the castle are adjacent to the most modern and very convenient infrastructure, preserved and accompanied by highly qualified and extremely responsive staff. I recommend you to visit, to accommodate, and to have the best memories!

A wonderful and very beautiful place! With an interesting story. There are not many exhibits like in others, but there are a lot of interesting things! The castle is after reconstruction. The walls are made of old bricks and stones, as well as new ones. The towers are very cool! Climbing them high is difficult and interesting! And they have a beautiful view)) the cellars are interesting, but the prison is not-a small room with shackles. On the other side of the castle there is a beautiful church with the coat of arms of the family, in the crypt of which there are burials..

It's a beautiful place. It has historical value. The place is a tourist destination, there is a hotel in the castle itself, a restaurant and a cafe. We were in the restaurant - the food was delicious. We looked into the cafe - the prices are cheaper, there is not enough space. They didn't take tickets to the castle, only to the towers and the basement. A narrow spiral staircase with shallow steps is an excellent fitness, we climbed up and down with pleasure.

The place is definitely ready to visit! Very beautiful, colorful, atmospheric. The chivalric theme, it has always been interesting, here it is revealed, a lot of armor preserved from those times. Dishes, clothes, household items, swords, etc. The history of the castle itself is very interesting. We climbed the spiral staircases to both towers with pleasure. When we got hungry, we went to a restaurant right in the castle. A very atmospheric place, only here I finally touched the knight😊heavy chairs, massive tables, Viking music is playing, the food is delicious, cooked for about half an hour. It's not cheap at the price, but the very fact that you take food in the castle, drink hot mulled wine, is fascinating. There is a beautiful park at the castle.

A good historical place, there is entertainment in the form of installations. The interiors of the castle are amazing, from luxurious halls to gloomy cellars and an exhibition of household items of the inhabitants of the castle. There is a separate memorial exhibition dedicated to the tragic history of this place in the Second World War. One of the disadvantages is the queue at the entrance, although it moves quite fast. There are discounts for students and other privileged categories.
