2025 Brest Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

No visit to Belarus would be complete without a trip to this town. Brest is best known for its fortress and its proximity to the Polish border. The size of the fortress is really impressive. It’s not only a historical site but also a lovely place for a walk. Entrance is free. Brest is quite small. Its main street—Sovetskaya—reminded me a lot of the streets in Nizhny Novgorod: cozy, quiet, with neat, low-rise buildings. There’s also an excellent Italian restaurant here—Basilico Trattoria (though you’ll need to book a table in advance). 🏠Where to stay: Hampton by Hilton Brest 🚕Transportation: Use Yandex taxi —it’s quite cheap #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip #europetrip #belarus #brest #hiddengems #deliciousfood

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Brest, Belarus is a world-famous tourist resort city. Every day, thousands of tourists come here for sightseeing and vacation. This time I will introduce a travel guide to Brest. There are more than 2,000 historical and cultural architectural monuments in Brest Oblast. "Brest Hero Fortress" and "Belovezh National Forest Park" are the symbols of Brest Oblast. 🚩Brest Trilogy 1. Brest Fortress 2. Lamplighter (lighting time depends on sunset) 3. Belovezh State Forest 📍Brest Fortress (Address: Search for Брестская крепость) I strongly recommend watching the movie Enemy at the Gates before going there! I will definitely be filled with emotion. 📍Brest Lamplighter (address: search for Указатель времени зажжения Єонарей) Brest is one of the few cities in the world that has preserved the tradition of lighting lamps. The exact time of lighting can be found by looking at the clocks on the pedestrian streets. Lamplighter Grandpa Victor will not refuse anyone's request for a photo! So be brave and take a photo with him. 📍"Lungs of Europe" Belovezhskaya Forest (Address: Search for Беловежская пуща) There are several tour routes to choose from. Transportation: Take a bus from Grodno to Brest. It took three and a half hours in total. Special tip: If you plan to go to Belovezhskaya Forest, you can go to the train station when you arrive in Brest and buy round-trip tickets to the forest in advance.
