A very interesting place
The entrance to the observation deck is a little not thought out, there is a long queue
But it's still worth it.

Progressive. But visiting the observation room is an absolutely useless waste of money, time and effort, because everything is so covered with glass that there will be no beautiful photos or view locations.

We haven't been to the library, but we went up to the observation deck on its roof. It's worth going, especially to the guests of the city.

We went up to the observation tower and looked into the fog. The fog is less visible through binoculars. Sometimes the wind rises and you can see part of the parking lot. It is rare to choose the weather so well and not see absolutely the entire panorama at one time. It is a bit like a large outdoor hammam in which it is cold. I liked everything.

На самом деле ярчайшее и величественное сооружение со своей историей и многогранным функционалом. С фасадной части вход в саму библиотеку, с доступом на первые три этажа читальных залов и музей книги. С тыльной стороны доступ к башне с обзорными площадками на высоту 74 метра. Достойное и внушительное произведение, истинный бриллиант зодчества в Минской архитектуре.

We were on the observation deck, we liked everything very much. And the playground itself, and the panoramic elevator. There was no queue.

The observation deck is for show, the view from above is not impressive, besides it is inconvenient to look, the glass is too low, ropes are stretched from above for some reason, the building itself is cool. The entrance is too expensive for such "views". The cafe was also not impressed, there is almost no view from the windows, everything is blocked by beams, the tea is ordinary, the liqueurs are good :-)

It's a great building.
There was no time to get acquainted with the contents of the library.
There is a great park next to the river, with benches. It's great to sit there in the summer and read an interesting book.

We were on the observation deck. I was not impressed at all. The windows are dirty and stuffy. The review is questionable. The art exhibition is also very mediocre. Printed photos are not worth paying attention to.
I definitely wouldn't visit this place a second time. If you pass by, you can stop by for 5 minutes, but no more.

In my opinion, this is one of the most recognizable buildings in Minsk. The beautiful backlight undoubtedly makes it even more original. I really liked the observation deck.

Одна из достопримечательностей Минска, не в центре, рядом станция метро восток. На крыше смотровая площадка, есть бесплатные уличные бинокли, этажом ниже картинная галерея и кафе. Цена на вход не высокая, впечатления от посещения отличные, советую побывать

A library card costs less than 4 rubles. A cozy atmosphere. The ticket allows you to visit almost all the exhibitions that are in the library. It also allows you to get remote access to all databases of digitized books provided by the library.

I am writing specifically about the observation deck. It is impossible to stay on the roof for a long time, it is very hot, unfortunately there are no gorgeous views here either, but for 300rubles it is excellent

Мы жили напротив библиотеки, днем она удивляет своей архитектурой. Вечером она зажигается разными цветами. Рядом с библиотекой есть парк писателей, где вечером можно прогуляться и даже посидеть в тишине. Нам посчастливилось побывать на смотровой площадке, весь город как на ладони.

In the evening, with the backlight, it looks great. But during the day, this transparent glass facade is a horror, all the internal elements of the structure are visible

Very impressive. Beauty! The observation deck is paid, but the cost is affordable. The elevator goes up very quickly. There are a lot of people willing from the very opening. I advise the guests of the city to visit.

The entrance to the gran cafe and is obliged to buy tickets for 10p because of the observation deck, an imposed service, it was possible to separate the cafe from the observation room, put the concierge upstairs with a cash register or separate entrances

Well, the diamond didn't work out, the queue at the entrance is normal, there's not much to see inside and on the observation deck.By and large, it's just time and money spent

The place is interesting, modern, if you like to climb to a height, then you can come, but the observation deck is very far from the city center, so you will not be able to see anything from it, except for new buildings on the nearest streets) you need to keep this in mind)

It's amazing!!! The building looks like it has just been built both from the outside and inside! Care and careful attitude are visible in everything! Probably one of the most vivid impressions of Minsk! I definitely recommend you to visit!

We came to the central entrance of the library to visit the observation room, but we were directed to go around the entire building, there was not enough clearer navigation on the territory and probably at the entrance to the library it is worth making a clear pointer to the observation room so as not to bother the employees with questions. The cost of the visit is very affordable, 300 rubles in Russian rubles, a very polite woman at the entrance to the elevators, free luggage storage for things.
A pleasant panoramic elevator and an observation deck in general, there is a cafe on the 22nd floor and an exhibition, which is included in the ticket.

This is a very good place, there is a museum in which there are books that were written with their hands, a very good observation deck you can see the whole of Minsk, but only with binoculars you can hardly see anything, and so it's very good!

We expected something more. It is stated as an interesting, mandatory place for tourists to visit, but in fact without excursions (which are held only for organized, pre-planned groups) it is boring and there is nothing to see.

Места конечно отличные, да и вид шикарен, но людям с боязнью высоты крайне не рекомендую) Были с семьёй ребенку обзорная очень понравилась, но закрытая обзорка ни о чем( Да и в туалетах просто ужас, такое ощущение что не убирают( А так кто в летний погожий денёк хочет увидеть Минск с такой верхотуры крайне рекомендую!!!

Инженерная мысль 1986 года, все очень круто! Персонал просто наиприятнейший! Интересно подают историю библиотеки во время экскурсии! Абсолютно и бесспорно - визитная карточка прекрасного Минска!

Original) In addition to looking outside, you can climb onto the observation deck. But it's just a view of the city, nothing particularly remarkable.

Cool view. High-speed elevator. There are free binoculars on the roof. There is a cafe and a small exhibition of paintings. If there is a long queue at the cash desk, then you can quickly pay with a QR code using a Belarusian bank card.

Волшебное, энергетическое место. Величие библиотеки впечатляют, площадь парка для прогулки понравилась. Фонтан интересный и разнообразный. Однозначно будем семьей гулять частенько. Рекомендуем

A great place ! The observation deck is mandatory to visit in Minsk. The whole city is at a glance. The ticket, if my memory serves me correctly, costs 6 rubles, and you will be taken by a panoramic elevator to the 23rd floor, where you will enjoy the most beautiful view of the city.

Отличное туристическое и медийное место. Можно подняться на крышу и окинуть взором окрестности) Обязательно рекомендую к посещению. Под смотровой площадкой уютное кафе с демократичными ценами

Мечтал лет 10 там побыть. Из дали смотрится круто. Побывав внутри все сделано из дешёвых материалов как евроопт. Кафе весьма посредственное для такого уровня обьекта. Работники которые пропускают на смотровую совершенно неклиентоариентированны. Впечатление, как будто им все надоели.
