I definitely recommend a visit! The observation deck on the 23rd floor offers a view of a part of the city. Before visiting, make sure that you do not get into the ticket sales break (15 minutes). There is one cashier, one ticket sales window. The queue is alive. Although there is a QR code for purchasing an electronic ticket, but in fact it did not work out to buy it, so we waited for the opening of the ticket office after the break. The elevator is panoramic, you can watch how the view opens during the ascent. We were in August 2024, the prices for the photos correspond to this period. Be sure to visit the restaurant on the 22nd floor. The food is delicious and the presentation is aesthetic. But there may not be any empty seats, book in advance. It will be especially beautiful at sunset in the evening.

An unusual and fascinating architectural work. And considering that this is a national library, art is not only outside, but also inside
A good observation deck. The only point is long queues. We must be ready.

The most interesting thing for a tourist is the observation deck. It offers a view of the city from a height of more than 70 meters. The ascent is carried out by a pan-frame elevator. There is a gallery and a cafe on the floor below. It is better to choose sunny days to visit.

Our diamond. There is an observation deck, an entrance and a ticket office at the back of the building, the library is super, as a student it just saved me, I wrote a complicated diploma in Business law in the hall for undergraduates, super, lamps, tables, a lot of space, only I would like the light to be brighter, exhibitions are held periodically, and special thanks to the organizers for the Night of 2024, there were so many events. that it was unrealistic to visit everything, and quests, and dances, and lectures. concerts, games, a fashion show for babies, the sea, the view from the windows is beautiful, especially in the evening, when the lights are on, cool illuminated dancers were hired to close the Bible Night, an awesome number, and the charismatic guys closed -so smiling, very positive. I was amazed by the book museum, many unique copies and the clock of the epochs are cool and the bison on the 1st floor, the sculpture of Frantziska Skaryna is gorgeous. The library is beautiful, special thanks for the audience with the piano, where pianists gave concerts, so many people volunteered to play on the open piano, as many talents as we have, it takes pride. Thanks to the organizers. Our relatives liked dancing in several classrooms at once very much. Very sincere.

Inside, the library is very modern and functional, you can touch ancient works. There are many paid services that make life easier.
The communal elevator is what is necessary for such a building and the observation deck, the views, especially at sunset, is something!!!

The National Library of Belarus is a truly majestic building that leaves an incredible impression with its unusual appearance. Visiting her observation deck, which offers a stunning view of the whole of Minsk, was unforgettable. The library is not only a beautiful architectural symbol of the republic, but also an important cultural, scientific and educational center that maintains ties with many countries.
It hosts world-class lectures, literary festivals and book fairs, which makes it a place where ideas and talents converge. The National Library of Belarus deserves to be a mandatory stop for everyone interested in culture and knowledge, and it gives Minsk a special character and significance.

A great library both in terms of tourism and professionally. There are a lot of books on various topics, a unique service in the form of book delivery on special monorails, as well as a lot of other innovations, which is amazing, especially considering that the building was built in 2006. Well, the observation deck, of course, has a beautiful view. I definitely recommend you to visit if you have never been there.

The library of Minsk is an observation deck , museums , and the library itself with many halls, everything on the observation deck is covered with glass, so the view is good only from the stairs. You can also go to the library itself from another entrance to buy a ticket and explore the 3 floors, where there are many different galleries, you liked it more inside.

I recommend all tourists to visit the observation deck of the library. An unforgettable experience. There is a panoramic elevator, a 360-degree view, a cafe and a small museum where exhibitions are held. But I recommend going at sunset - the photos will turn out cool. It is convenient to get there by metro. The area around is well maintained, ponds, benches, paths. You can walk around. In the evening, the building is illuminated (ads are being played).

A grandiose building! We weren't inside, we didn't have enough time for that. There is a huge unpaid Parking nearby! It was convenient for us to use it, because there is a subway nearby. We parked the car, dived into the subway and you are in the center of Minsk. Also opposite the metro there is a huge shopping center Dana Mall with reasonable prices. In a word, a beautiful and convenient place for tourists!

A very unusual building in the form of a crystal in architectural terms. And the most amazing thing is that there is an observation deck on the roof. The whole city is at a glance. There is a cozy cafe with delicious ice cream and coffee on the floor below.

Having visited many viewing platforms (in Moscow there is an abundance of this, and there are many throughout the Russian Federation, without taking trips abroad) I didn't expect a "wow". But it was there. I can't even say exactly why. Most likely, I saw a huge number of green spaces on the wide panorama of the capital, a wide, but almost empty, Independence Avenue. My life has prepared me little for the fact that the capital can be like this - bright, but calm; noisy, but without chaotically visual garbage; built-up, but with a lot of greenery. I was very pleased with the gallery on the 22nd floor, local artists - it was interesting for me to see, and the guys had great advertising! I recommend you to visit!

Belarusians themselves are somewhat ironic about this library, and this upset me. It seemed to me that the place was quite pleasant. The observation deck is not very interesting, because there are new residential areas around, the historical center is not visible, but it is still worth visiting both the library and the observation deck

I would like to say a big thank you to all the staff of our library.
I come there almost every day to prepare for exams. The atmosphere is inviting.
Polite guards at the turnstiles, tactful librarians. Especially Kuznetsova Margarita is a charming girl who explained the scheme of getting books, suggested where to go and answered all the questions, in general, to the very heart.

From the outside it looks big and huge on a large scale. There is a large spacious area around it. There is a huge shopping center nearby. Beautiful apartment buildings. There are 3 floors inside the library. It took about 40 minutes . Nothing special. For those who want to read a book in peace, this is a great place. In order to see something interesting, you will not see anything except galleries, and even then they are not particularly interesting, it is better to go to the National Art Museum.

The National Library is a whole city within a city! Here you can spend the whole day visiting many exhibitions and the book museum, there is a place to have a snack and buy souvenirs. The book museum is closed on Monday. And it is very inconvenient that the library with its exhibition halls and the observation deck do not form a single space. That is, after the library, you need to go out, walk around the building and buy a ticket to the observation deck.

A very beautiful building outside with a large parking lot in front. Through the main entrance you will enter the library itself (not for free, for about 2.5 rubles bel.). On the reverse side, there is an opportunity to climb to the 23rd floor to the observation deck. The view is beautiful, but it took us a few minutes to enjoy them. There were more expectations from this attraction, but if you compare it with any library, then it is undoubtedly the leader. A tip for tourists: it's still worth visiting once.

I've been to various libraries around the world and ours is a sad sight. Apart from the peculiar shape on the outside, there is nothing remarkable. Inside is just an office building with the same finishing materials and offices. It's hot, the ventilation can't cope in summer. There is frankly nothing to see, a couple of installations and hand-drawn panels of areas on the walls. A boring typical office building. They hold many events, but they are all in the hall on the stairs, because there is nowhere special. Except for the time of the president, of course.

One of the symbols of Minsk. It looks monumental. There is an observation deck on the roof - you can climb up and look at Minsk from above. Evening lighting is an interesting idea, but the content could have been chosen more interesting. In general, I recommend it.
