What to do in Brest?
Acquaintance with Brest should start from the Old Town, where the memorial complex, the famous Brest Fortress, and the Nikolaevskaya Church are located. You should definitely look at the cathedrals and churches of Brest - pay attention to the Nicholas Fraternal Church, the Holy Simeon and Holy Resurrection Cathedrals.
You can look at old icons, paintings by Aivazovsky, jewelry and other interesting items by visiting the Museum of Saved Values.
For a walk, you can go to Fomin Street in the Old Lanterns Square. Here you will not only see more than 17 lanterns of various types, but you can also listen to music from the 1930s-1960s (Lydia Ruslanova, Bernes and other voices of our past), which is broadcast from pre-war loudspeakers every day from 17:00 to 20:00.
A wonderful place for recreation is the May Day Culture and Recreation Park: the well-maintained park will delight you with cozy cafes, playgrounds and attractions (Ferris Wheel, children's trains, race track, water attractions). Since the park stretches along the banks of a small river, here you can walk along the decorative bridges arm in arm with your loved one.
Those who like to go to boutiques and shops should go to the Central Department Store and the Europe shopping center. For souvenirs in the national style, you can go to the Slavyanka store, but for Belarusian knitwear you should definitely go to the Old Town market (both wholesale and retail trade is carried out here).
Fans of active nightlife should definitely include in their evening program a visit to the Matrix Bar, the Palazzo restaurant-night club, and the K2 night club.
Arriving in Brest, you can breathe clean air (there are many parks and green alleys in the city), visit the districts of the city that will bring you various memories (Brest keeps the spirit of the socialist past), taste high-quality and elite drinks (Brest is famous for the products of its factory).
