An interesting tour of the museum and the fortress itself. It's a pity that there wasn't enough time to get into the atmosphere. The whole tour was filled with tears.

The fortress is a hero! It is mandatory to visit! You need to go to such places with the whole family, drive and show the children from school, a place of glory, pride and sorrow. Memory and glory to the Soviet soldier!

It's an amazing place. If you want to go on an excursion in May, book from January, the demand is very high. It is disappointing that a significant part of the fortress remains in disrepair and has not been restored.

We visited the Brest fortress on 31. 08. The impressions are incredible. Entering the fortress, you can hear the sound of a metronome and Levitan's voice, it gives you goosebumps. Emotions overwhelm during a visit to the memorial. Many thanks to the guide of the Anastasia Memorial for an interesting tour and a reverent attitude to the memory and events of the past.

It is a very iconic place, everyone should know the history of the heroic defense of the fortress and see this place with their own eyes. At the entrance, you can hear a message about the beginning of the 1941 war, and feel the horror and tragedy of those days.

It was a very atmospheric place, with tears in my eyes and a sinking heart. We were at the reconstruction on June 22. Still impressed! Everyone who honors the memory of the victor's people should visit this place!

1. If you want to lay flowers, then bring them with you. They don't sell on the spot! 2. Fortress Defense Museum - don't waste your time. The only exhibit worthy of attention is a part of the wall with famous words. Everything else is a copy or just a photo. And boorish staff. 3. Everything else is worth a look - the territory is fascinating. Solemn silence. Everything is strict and respectful. Be sure to walk around the fortress. There are many "islands" there, and there is something to see on each one.

We traveled around Belarus for the May holidays.On May 03, 2024, we visited the Brest Hero Fortress Memorial Complex.It's exciting to the point of goosebumps and a lump in my throat.I liked it very much, we took a lot of emotions with us to St. Petersburg.Pride in the Soviet people, indignation at the treachery of the invaders and misunderstanding, well, how is this possible?Special thanks to the guide Inna Vladimirovna, chance brought us together by chance that day, we were lucky...For her passion, deep knowledge and sensitive attitude to people.

On the eve of the holiday on May 9, 2023, the whole family visited the Brest Hero Fortress Memorial. Parking near the Brest fortress is free, there are enough places. The entrance to the complex itself is made in the shape of a star cut through a huge concrete block. already from afar it makes an unforgettable impression, and when you get closer and hear the announcer's announcement of the beginning of the war, it makes you shudder... Many pass through the gate with tears in their eyes... Honestly, but on a warm spring day I got goosebumps, my wife was crying... An incredibly strong place... When planning to visit the Brest fortress, be sure to consider the question of the guide - without him there will be a lot of "white spots". There are two options: 1. A guide can be ordered in advance (follow the reviews) - these people know the territory of the fortress brilliantly, they will tell you more than regular guides and show you places where ordinary tourists simply do not get. However, there is one "but" - you will have to visit the museums yourself for a fee. 2. The tour can be taken in any of the 3 museums of the complex (preferably in the central one, since guides only take you to "their" museums), in this version the guide tells in detail about the exhibits of the museum halls, and at the end makes a small sightseeing tour of the territory. We took an excursion for 3 people (2 adults + a child) in the central museum of the complex, the tour lasted 1.5 hours, the cost was 90 Belarusian rubles. Be sure to note that for a guaranteed excursion it is necessary to arrive at the Brest fortress around 10-11 a.m. - then you can safely find a free guide. If you arrive after lunch, there may no longer be free guides. The central place on the Citadel square is occupied by the monument "Courage" - a collective image of the defenders of the fortress. An Eternal flame burns near it and there are memorial slabs, under which the found remains of the heroes-defenders are buried - more than 1,000 people, of whom only a fifth are known by name. Some burials are dated to the 50s-60s-70s-80s-90s. And how many have not been found yet... Next to the monument there is a hundred-meter obelisk made in the form of a four-sided bayonet of the Mosin rifle, the main weapon of the defenders of the fortress. To the left of the monument is the white Hill gate, which still retains traces of bullets and shrapnel that hit them. Another main monument included in the Memorial complex is the sculpture "Thirst": a collective image of defenders dying from lack of water (the Nazis blocked our fighters' access to water, all approaches to the river were shot through, people dying of thirst were forced to drink their own blood or break through to the river at the cost of their lives to get a helmet of water). Be sure to visit the St. Nicholas garrison Church - the architecture of that time is preserved inside. While walking around the fortress, remember that it is forbidden to walk through the ruins - there are a lot of police around, they can be fined. The impressions of the tour are difficult to convey in words... The whole atmosphere of the Brest fortress seems to be filled with the pain of every day of the month filled with death, during which the last defenders of the Brest fortress defended themselves. I think this place should be visited by everyone who loves their homeland, remembers and appreciates the feat of ordinary Soviet people and the history of our country.

A memorable place that we remember from the pages of books, from television broadcasts, since childhood. And to be in Belarus and not get here, we could not allow that. Let's take the night train, but it was worth it! A place where time has stopped and only quiet music and Levitan's voice remind us of the importance of the place for each of us. The perfect condition of the fortress is maintained, everywhere is quiet, calm...

A place where the strong in spirit have found peace! And those who survived brought the news about the events that took place. The guides know their job, all that's missing is work clothes, a themed vest, after all.

You need to go to the fortress with knowledge of history - after reading books, or at least with a good guide. Externally, it's just a few buildings and remnants of fortifications. But imagine the events that took place, standing on this very piece of land. Distant and grandiose things are materializing. They can be felt, understood, approached. Something far away from books acquires the real features of great deeds. There are good expositions in museums. The guides are very pleased. They willingly talk a lot, explain, answer questions. This place is definitely worth a visit and you definitely need to bring children here.

A historical place imbued with a special atmosphere. The best time to visit is from April to September, a large open-air square. You can see for yourself, but with a guide you will learn a lot of touching and heroic moments. Interesting exhibits in museums. The price is not high, discounts for children and pensioners. Be sure to visit if you are in Brest

When you get to this place, you immediately feel the energy of thousands of people associated with this place.Here you can just feel the full scale and horror of that big and long war with your skin.I had the same feeling on Mamayev Kurgan and at the monument to the soldier near Rzhev.These are holy places for a normal Russian person.You definitely need to visit here and feel all the pain that the war has caused our people.

The fortress is indeed a hero. It is definitely worth visiting to touch the history. The grandeur of this place is off the scale. It is also worth visiting the exhibition "Eastern Fort", which is located a little further to the left, after the entrance, from the North Gate.

It's an amazing place to visit. The most amazing and largest fortress I've ever seen. I touched the story of a heroic deed. Many thanks to the guide Oleg! It was very interesting, he showed us everything in detail and sincerely, answered all the questions. A highly qualified specialist, I really liked the tour. My husband did not want to go to Brest (we had a tour planned: Minsk-Grodno-Brest), but at the end of the trip he said that it was the best of all he saw and liked Brest the most

Brest Fortress, the first frontier of the fortitude and courage of Soviet soldiers.People who come here know the history, remember and honor the heroes who fought to the last breath, who gave their lives with the belief that their descendants will live. The territory of the memorial complex is relatively small.It is worth going through the whole thing, from beginning to end, to understand and recreate the picture of what is happening. There are souvenir shops on the territory, they sell coffee, small snacks. You can eat at the Citadel cafe, but that day it was on spec.That's why I can't say anything about him. As a result, the fortress will remain in our memory forever 🙏🏼🕯️

One of the main symbols of Belarus. The place of heroic defense of the fortress garrison, the place where the Nazi troops received the order to retreat for the first time since the beginning of the Great Patriotic War. There are wonderful museums on the territory, excellent, competent guides, exemplary cleanliness and order!

It's hard to find the right words, but it got to the very goosebumps. Footage from a film about the defense of the Brest fortress immediately flashed through my memory. It is such a significant and epoch-making place. Bullet marks have been preserved to this day. In short, everyone who will ever be in Belarus should definitely visit there. Cool emotions for all visitors.

Brest. Fortress. What can I say? There are no words on the territory of the fortress, they want to be silent, realizing what a fragile thing life is! And what a huge value ! The history of those distant days is still cold and bloody, I'm very weak, but looking at the whole memorial I can imagine those distant events. And the queue of machine guns rings in my ears and the sounds of bombs exploding on the heads of innocent people . Memory - to be remembered! And of course, everyone should visit here!

The fortress is located away from the noise and the center, there is free Parking. The territory of the fortress is huge, so it's better to come with a reserve of time. There are also several roads with different entrances to the memorial. We were very limited in time and, unfortunately, we did not have time to visit the museums and explore the entire territory, and, as I said, it is quite large. For everyone who loves and knows history, it is a must-visit.

Brest Hero Fortress is one of the business cards of Brest, the most famous landmark of this city. It includes the Brest Fortress Defense Museum, monuments, a stella, a temple and other structures located on an area of about 4 square kilometers. It will take about 3-4 hours to get around everything and take photos for memory. I recommend the services of a guide who will tell you in detail, quickly and interestingly about the fortress defense museum and the structures on its territory. Souvenir shops and grocery stores are also located on site. How to get there: it is possible to get there by public transport (buses, taxis), by sightseeing transport and by private car, for which there is a large parking lot. The Brest Fortress is mandatory for everyone who will visit Brest at least for a short time, as this monument to the heroes of the Great Patriotic War helps to better understand the history of the city and Belarus as a whole. Suitable for people of any age. Have a nice trip!
