A wonderful street for leisurely walks, fun, with lots of cafes, bakeries and coffee shops. Everything is very fresh and delicious. There is a shopping center, an ATM, a deli, and, of course, a clock that shows the time when the lanterns are lit. I liked the show, although people, of course, were surprised: some, as if hypnotized, followed the lamplighter from one lantern to another, preventing the others from getting closer and filming the whole action. The coolest street in Brest!
This is an amazing place with a variety of shops, cafes and pizzerias. I especially remember the evening fountain — a great place to relax and enjoy the atmosphere.
A wonderful place for a family holiday with a lot of cafes and shops.
In the evening, tourists gather to watch the process of lighting lanterns, as well as to take pictures with a lamplighter.
It is very interesting to go to rest your soul, so to speak, disconnect from the outside world and walk with midgets (small steps). There are also many sculptures, including live ones, as well as all sorts of folk exhibitions and new exhibitions in the 5D style.(You will find a cafe to your liking 😜)
The only such place in Belarus, for me it is very beautiful and worth a look. And the lamplighter is very friendly, although many people behave like individuals very far from intellectuals (sorry, I don't know how to put it mildly). I am surprised at the man's patience every time I come to Brest)
The tradition is wonderful. Arriving in Brest, we go to watch the lighting of lanterns. Seven days a week, every day, in any weather, Viktor Petrovich does his job. In the morning, he extinguishes the lanterns almost alone, and in the evening receives a huge portion of hugs, photo shoots and kind words
Lighting lanterns, it's just a fairy tale! It feels like I've returned to my childhood! Brest is a gorgeous city, with its beauty and a wonderful and tragic history.
The impression is not Wow. But the atmosphere and mood are good. And then a walk along the street. Sovetskaya Street (it is pedestrian). With dinner at the restaurant, pleasant impressions and memories
A great place to walk with your family. There is a place to eat, listen to music. There are a lot of souvenir shops. In the evening, lanterns are manually lit. Very interesting
To be honest, we didn't find anything particularly interesting in this attraction. But the fact is that we have very, very little time left. Time to live the life we live in the summer of 2024. If most of us do not begin to take responsibility for changes in society, for our actions and inaction, then we will not last until 2036. Well, life will turn into a nightmare no later than 2031. Why? Yes, because we don't want to notice the obvious. The fact that the number and strength of natural resources are increasing all over the planet with a terrifying progression. And this progression points exactly to the dates that I have named. If you want to change your future, then search the Internet for groups in social networks for the query "climate needs to be solved."
We just left Brest today. I liked the city very much, clean, unhurried, cozy. We lived in the very center on Pushkinskaya 4. Quiet, calm. We visited the Brest Fortress, Belovezhskaya Pushcha, walked along Sovetskaya Street and took pictures with a lamplighter. I read an article about him - a surprisingly pleasant, tactful, patient man. Everyone wants to take a picture with him and rub the button of his jacket and make a wish. There are many cafes, you can choose where to sit. I advise you to visit this wonderful city, you will be very satisfied.
A very beautiful and atmospheric tradition.
Dozens of tourists gather outside to watch this "ceremony" and take pictures with a lamplighter.
I recommend booking a table for the Night in advance.Street.A lantern or in the pizzeria opposite and watch the whole action from the side. The clock at the beginning of the street shows the exact time of lighting on that day. But the first lantern is lit next to the sculpture with the letter.
A clock indicating the start time of the magical lantern lighting tradition.
The tireless and always positive Viktor Petrovich Kirisyuk lights lanterns almost seven days a week every day!
If you do not hesitate, you can have time to take a picture with the legendary lamplighter, as well as rub the button of his magic costume and make a wish 😀
An amazing place and tradition. Every day, regardless of the weather, the same lamplighter comes to light lanterns on Sovetskaya Street in Brest. The lighting time is indicated on the clock. Many tourists visit, everything is kind, sincere and pleasant. Must-visit )
A beautiful and unusual tradition in the beautiful city of Brest, which has a variety of beautiful lanterns. The lamplighter seems to come out of the past and you find yourself in a kind and beautiful fairy tale from books...
The place is wonderful, despite its age, there is a sense of wonder.Waiting for a lamplighter, the desire to make a wish and hold on to a button and suddenly, as in childhood, a miracle happens.
A wonderful city, very bright and clean, I often go there for work, I really like everything, well done residents of Brest that you keep your beautiful city clean, clean not where they clean, but where they don't litter, peace and goodness to all.Greetings from Bashkiria
A very interesting performance! I didn't rub the button, but the impression remained! If you want to enjoy lighting the lanterns, it is advisable to come early! All the best
The clock shows what time the lamplighter will start lighting the lanterns. A historical moment. This man will be remembered for many years, if in Brest, then do not be lazy and see how he lights the lanterns.
Lighting lanterns is some kind of magical action. The viewers themselves make it so with their hype. At the same time, the lamplighter is incomparable. He is very friendly, sociable and at the same time restrained, steadfastly tolerates the eccentricities of the audience. The atmosphere itself is very captivating: a street with antique lanterns and an appropriate musical background. It's simple, but for some reason it's fun.
For her sake and the lighting of lanterns after Belovezhskaya Pushcha, we went to Brest, but it was raining and the lamplighter did not come. It got dark after the rain, we took a walk along Sovetskaya Street, and the street was great, although there could have been more monuments
A great place to relax. A very beautiful street with many cafes and shops. You can watch the amazing moment of lighting the lanterns. There are a lot of attractions nearby. Our most favorite place.
I visited this square in the summer of 2014 and was delighted with how the lamplighter came and lit the lanterns. A little later, in the winter of this year, I went to this square again and pleasant memories came flooding back. There is everything on this square, shops, cafes, even some kind of a single souvenir shop, which I never went to, but I also remember that there is a Kommunarka store there, and I adore the chocolate of this confectionery factory, I knew that it was there and ran there, but, unfortunately unfortunately, I did not find the chocolate I was looking for there, they no longer produce it, but this did not discourage my enthusiasm and I came to this square, as if to my native place, over and over again, until I left Brest. Although even when I started to leave, I also walked through it.
Pedestrian street in Brest. A must-have place for evening walks. It is beautiful, with a huge number of shops, food outlets, coffee shops. There are a lot of people walking. 30-40 minutes for a leisurely walk.
It's very convenient, even if they showed it online, it would be wonderful.
The watch is beautiful and original. Located at the very beginning of the pedestrian street.
Like it. It is an interesting tradition to light lanterns every evening. Crowds of tourists walk behind the flashlight, watching, taking pictures. So cute.
It's a great place. A pleasant lamplighter. Important: The exact time may change from day to day. The time can be found on the clock. The lamplighter arrives +- 10 minutes.
The coolest street in Belarus. And it's fun and cozy and there's so much to listen and see, a cafe for every taste.. the shops.. and the young people who dance Latin or something like it on the street are super cool..
It's a very nice tradition. Like it. In the photo, the lights go out in the morning. The evening lighting takes place with a large crowd of people. In the morning without onlookers))
A wonderful impression of visiting this street. The lamplighter is a legend of this city. We saw it, got into the atmosphere, it was very unusual and interesting!
A very pleasant street for leisurely evening walks. A beautiful tradition of lighting lanterns by hand, a special clock shows the exact time of the start of lighting. In the evening, the street comes alive, musicians play, people walk.
To feel the cozy atmosphere of the city and plunge into its history. You can feel like a spadar or a spadar for a short moment.
The lamplighter man is very kind, friendly and will never refuse a photo or a short conversation, although it is clearly tiring in the warm seasons when the street is full of tourists.
This is a unique event in Brest - the lighting of kerosene lanterns by a lamplighter. A lot of people come to watch this event every day. When the music starts playing, everyone is waiting for the lamplighter to appear. Very atmospheric
A very atmospheric and cozy street, where an old lamplighter lights fogari every evening... It sounds like a fairy tale, but this is a Soviet street in Brest. We really liked it, a little tradition that makes everything around a little kinder and more interesting)
A very long alley with lanterns, various compositions. In the evening, not all the lanterns are lit, so it's better to take photos for days. We really didn't see the lantern lighter.
An interesting performance, but people spoil everything (they behave like barbarians, climb, push, try to touch the lamplighter despite other people). The lamplighter looks neat and clean.
It has been a good tradition since 2008 to light lanterns with a lamplighter on Sovetskaya Street in Brest. This clock shows the time at which the lamplighter will start his work. It is different at all times of the year. Approximately timed to the time of sunset. On November 21, 2023, it's at 17.15. Stand around these hours and as soon as you hear the music, then know that the lamplighter is already on the way. He starts to light a lantern a little way down the street, and then in a circle. The whole procedure takes about 15-20 minutes. Don't forget to make a wish and rub the button on his uniform. He will not mind, on the contrary, even offers to do it and take a picture with him. I recommend to look at it! Good luck and health to everyone!
The time of lighting the lanterns is indicated every day. In the evening, many tourists and residents are waiting for this moment.. the appearance of the lamplighter does not leave anyone indifferent - everyone wants to touch the story, capture a photo moment.
