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.
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.

The memorial complex is very well maintained, everything is clean
We booked the tour in advance (there is a phone number on the website), we really liked the guide
We walked around the museum, the whole history of the place is laid out by periods
It is worth visiting iconic places on the territory (check with the guide at the end of the tour where it is even better to go)
When you get here, be sure to take a guided tour. Even if you consider yourself well-read, or have watched a movie, then what the guides will show will greatly complement your impressions.
An amazing place to visit at any age. You definitely need to take a guided tour!
From what he saw, he mentally transfers you to that period of our history.
It is a pity that some children and adults behave tactlessly
Entrance to the territory is free; entrance to the museum buildings is paid. It is better to check the opening hours in advance. This is not a place for children's fun. There was a teenage guard at the eternal flame - impressive. There are signs that we do not climb monuments.
A place of memory! It's a very psychologically difficult place. A huge open-air museum. There are many locations, there are both modern and interactive museums, as well as a large classical museum of the Brest Fortress. You can write a lot about this place for a long time. Who has never been, be sure to visit, it is very important.If you are a visitor, it is better to take a guide.
Every year we visit the Brest Fortress - this is a must-visit place for all generations, regardless of views and religion, as a reminder of that terrible and tragic time that should not happen again.
It is a magnificent place not only for Belarusians, but also for everyone living on this planet today. It is very useful for young people to visit, there are museums
I recommend you to visit, an excellent complex, be sure to show the children, the courage of the defenders is stunning, I learned a lot of new facts. A large area, several museums, of course you can skip a couple if you are limited in time. Before visiting, I recommend watching the feature film "Brest Fortress".
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!
The place is a must-visit! A leisurely, thoughtful visit!
Despite all the splendor of Brest, it is worth coming to it even for the sake of one fortress! Even from Vladivostok...
We devoted the whole day to the Brest Fortress. We took a tour of the fortress territory, visited several exhibitions and the garrison temple. The central entrance to the territory is a gate with a star, the "Holy War" sounds in the loudspeaker, the voice of the announcer announcing the beginning of the war and the sound of a stopwatch, I already started crying.... The guide's story struck me with facts and details. The Fascists wanted to take the fortress in 8 hours, our Heroes held the defense for 32 days! The fortress was a garrison, military men and families lived in it, there were many children and women, 1,877 people died, these are the ones that are installed, new graves are found every year. I cried the whole tour, the guide described in great detail the life and death of specific people, how they suffered from thirst and died because of a drop of water, how fathers covered their children with their bodies, many survived the horror of concentration camps, but no matter what they survived, about who the surviving children of the fortress became. There is a guard near the eternal flame around the clock and in any weather: teenagers aged 15-17. Our people cannot be defeated while we honor the memory of the Heroes, here the sense of patriotism and pride is simply off the scale! Everyone should visit this place!
A great and atmospheric place! We traveled 700 kilometers from Russia to Brest just for the sake of the fortress. I recommend visiting especially with children without fail!
Already at the entrance, the heart freezes, goosebumps run and tears come. There is a nice little museum in the fortress, although the floor creaks and the guide is hard to hear. Be sure to read the letters and look at all the photos. I roared through the whole tour. The earth is special here, I just want to wander in silence, thank my grandparents, ask the universe so that this does not happen again.
About everyday things. The toilet is such that it is better to wait until the city. Cafes are open on weekends, on weekdays it is better to have water with you. Be prepared for the fact that you drive for 5 hours, then 4 hours in the city and fortress (this is lunch, an excursion and a walk), and then back for 5 hours. The cost is 4500 rubles.
I dreamed of visiting the Brest Fortress. I really liked the grandeur of the Memorial Complex. We went around almost the entire complex. It is good that we have preserved the memory of the Great Patriotic War.
A childhood dream. We arrived on 02.05.22. We got there by car. They entered through the "Star". Basically, he knew where everything was. We went to the defense museum. Guided tour. It seemed to me that he needed to work out faster and leave. Some expositions have passed by altogether. The most basic ones, of course, were worked out - the stopped clock. He made a remark to me - you can not shoot video during the tour - as if - "this is private intellectual property, shooting only with coloring, otherwise - criminal liability!". It's good that the negative impressions ended there. There is some kind of energy. We went everywhere. Terespolsky gate, Kholmsky, monument "Thirst", Eternal flame. Then they wanted ice cream and the wife went to the tent. I went to the souvenir stand. A couple of words and a man joined the conversation nearby. He turned out to be a guide. He briefly told me about the fortress. Have you been there? Have you seen the place of Major Gavrilov's capture? The tour today, 02.05, costs 75 bel.rub. on normal days - 50 bel.rub. Have you been to the garrison church? Go while it's open. I've been to a lot of churches, but she left a very big impression. It is both a museum and a functioning church. It was an Orthodox church, then a Catholic one, then a club, then ruins, and in the 90s it was restored, but only from the outside - inside it was set aside as it is. He walked around with his mouth open... Tired. The flow shaft was only about - the legs were falling off. We went out at four in the evening. A part of me remained in the fortress - a part of the fortress remained in my heart. "I'm crapos, I'm fighting, I'm holding an abarona, we're waiting for reinforcements!" Only the fighters did not wait for him! An example of hopeless courage! The fighters knew that no one would come, but they fought with incredible courage anyway. The first order for the retreat of the fascists was given during the storming of the Brest fortress!
Low bow to the fighters!
The place is a must-visit. A worthy place for the education of patriotism. The children's guard at the eternal flame was impressive. Well, the sculpture "Thirst" is very touching. I recommend.
Being in this place, you can understand how terrible this WWII is, but at the same time legendary. Rest in peace heroes. How much suffering the war has brought. We will never forget your feat.
And also this set is very large and interesting. But as for me, there are not enough performances (I may not have seen ... well, in short, more) or a photo booth where you can take a picture, for example, with a gun.…
Such a spacious and majestic place✨
It is interesting to walk and see the sights of the fortress, especially when you are with friends.
What was missing was the opportunity to have a snack somewhere nearby (perhaps even on the territory), because you need to walk for a long time
It's a historically difficult place, you think about a lot of things. It's hard, but this is our story. Eternal memory. If you are interested in history, I highly recommend you to visit.
We would like to ask the management of the memorial to provide more informative information about the work of the museum on the territory of the Eastern Fort. Out of curiosity, I went towards the Eastern Fort and found that there was an exhibition there. On the way back, I even suggested to several tourists that there is also something to see there, since at the first glance from the intersection, the grille catches the eye and there is a feeling that it is impossible to go there. The score is reduced only for lack of information.
Read Smirnov S. S. "Brest Fortress". It chills to the bone. Then look on the spot.
It was in the very first days of the war, no one understood anything, but everyone fought for everyone. Read and think!
A must-visit. This place is like the words from a song - there is a sacred hell on earth! The courage and bravery of the people who defended this fortress should be remembered and honored.
The memory of the peoples is alive and does not weaken!
The monument evokes awe of the exploits and bravery of the defenders. I bow my knee in salute and tribute to memory.
Glory to the victorious peoples!
As a self-development, I recommend you to visit.
Brest is a hero city!!! The Brest fortress must be visited, preferably with an excursion or separately with a guide. You will be amazed at what you have seen and imperceptibly want to come back again.
The Brest fortress was one of the first to accept the onslaught of the German invaders.
A lot of blood was shed, many lives were lost, but the memory of the steadfastness of the defenders of the fortress will forever remain in our hearts!
You can write a review about this place endlessly and you, the reader, will not survive everything that happened here!
The purpose of our trip was to personally touch the walls, the ground and everything that happened back then!
The place is just amazing. It is difficult to find words to describe the full range of feelings and emotions overwhelming from visiting this place. This is the business card of the city, the only hero fortress. It is simply a must-visit!
The complex is striking in its scale, especially the monument "Fortitude" is remembered. Museums must be visited, it is impossible to remain indifferent.
an incredibly emotional place. we came here with my wife in the 22nd year on the 9th of May. it's better to go there once than to listen and read stories from hundreds of different people. it's unforgettable

The memorial makes an impression long before the entrance, the metronome, the sound of shells, Levitan's announcement of the outbreak of war - all this is very poignant and memorable for many years.
