A very interesting, impressive place!
Here you can visit the museum dedicated to the fortifications, history and everyday life of the Brest-Litovsk fortress.
I highly recommend visiting the museum with an excursion, because in addition to a detailed story about the museum itself, you can see the territory of the fort, powerful caponiers and other fortifications, visit underground galleries and casemates, as well as learn a lot!

The 5th Fort Museum is an amazing place that leaves a strong impression. The building itself looks like a real historical artifact, and the opportunity to explore it literally from top to bottom is a real pleasure. At the beginning of the tour, you will be greeted by a small museum, which tells about the history of the fort, its construction, everyday life and similar structures in Belarus, Russia and nearby European countries.
After the museum, you can freely walk through the tunnels and rooms, as well as go to the surface and explore the surroundings. We were lucky enough to visit the fort at the end of August, the day before the reenactment event, which allowed us to communicate with the reenactors. Their presence added to the entourage and helped to better understand how everything was arranged here in the past.
Personally, I liked the 5th Fort even more than the Brest Fortress, due to its atmosphere and interactivity. However, it is worth considering that the location may present some difficulties for those who use taxis, and the owners of the Life operator may have problems with mobile communication. In addition, I would not recommend combining a visit to the 5th fort with the Brest Fortress in one day, as there may not be enough time to carefully explore all corners and enjoy the atmosphere of both locations. But a visit to the 5th Fort is definitely worth including in your plan if you are interested in history and architecture.

An eerie place...
don't get lost in the stone labyrinths of the corridors! In any weather, take a warm sweater with you and put on comfortable shoes.
