It's very interesting, a lot of people, you can take a photo with a lamplighter! I recommend it, there is a place to eat and warm up nearby! I recommend it to everyone! There is a supermarket nearby.
A very original performance. The lamplighter himself is a pleasant middle-aged, itchy little man, like their fairy tales) but tourists / spectators, of course, are so-so people. Why touch a person? The lamplighter has a lot of patience
The stunning central alley, reminded Arbat in Moscow, is only clean, beautiful, cozy and there are no drunks on every corner! There's a lot of singing around, people are relaxing!
The lantern lighting time indicator informs you at what time the lighting of 19 kerosene lanterns on Sovetskaya Street will take place on the current day; it is at this time that the famous lamplighter appears and the magic begins ! As in the old days, a lamplighter lights lanterns on a ladder and enjoys communicating with the audience of this action . Make a wish and rub the lamplighter's button and they say that wishes will certainly come true ; isn't that magic!!!
It is a very unusual process in today's time. The lamplighter is very kind, he allows everyone to take pictures with him. I highly recommend watching this action.
It's a cool place, a lot of people gather during the lighting of lanterns.I really liked the atmosphere, tourists take pictures, shoot videos.The lamplighter is friendly, you can take a photo for memory.
On Sovetskaya Street in Brest, almost directly opposite the Central Department Store, there is a very strange clock. They have hands, but they don't walk, and almost every day they show the time with a difference of several minutes. In spring they start counting backwards, and in autumn they start counting forward. And this is not surprising, because in spring it gets dark later, and in autumn earlier, and this clock shows nothing more than the time of lighting the lanterns. Every evening, as if out of nowhere, a lamplighter appears to the sound of music (the symbol of Brest), he goes out onto Sovetskaya Street, takes a ladder and performs a daily ritual: lights gas lanterns. And only after this magical action, electricity is turned on throughout the city. So if you want to see how miracles happen, be sure to visit Brest, go to the clock and plunge into the very past when the lanterns were lit not with the help of buttons, but thanks to the lamplighters, the most necessary professionals of that time...
Great idea. A popular and notable place. A new, and already loved by the guests of the city, tradition. I may be an adult, but I'm also interested in children)).
It is a very cozy, beautiful place. There are many cafes with pleasant service and delicious food. And the alley with lanterns and a real lamplighter is just magic from childhood.
A beautiful street with phonories.
There are many benches, both in the shade and in the sun.
There are unusual water arches, which is very cool in the heat!
I really liked the tradition of lighting lanterns!
The lighting time of the lanterns is shown, which depends on the sunset. The lighting process itself looks very solemn and ritualistic. Where else will you see a real lamplighter who can rub a button to make dreams come true. And of course unforgettable photos.
The highlight of Brest and Sovetskaya Street is the local Arbat with 17 kerosene lanterns. They are lit by a lamplighter, a local worker responsible for an unusual ritual in the spirit of the nineteenth century and lighting a small section of the street. The time of the lamplighter's appearance depends on the time of sunset. He mysteriously appears at dusk, and finishes his ritual when it gets dark. And the time of the lamplighter's exit with the ladder is suggested by a specially installed clock at the beginning of the street. The unique watch says: "It's time to light the lanterns."
Here, as nowhere else, you can feel the atmosphere of the Brest streets and back streets. Brest is the best city in Belarus. There is no place better than Brest!!!
The lamplighter is just on top, always polite and neat, lights lanterns like in the old days, very beautiful.There are plenty of people who want to take a picture with a lamplighter .
A beautiful place with its own flavor, and the militant lamplighter in Belarus (who lights lanterns), were on June 21-22 in Brest, I really liked the city and the atmosphere of that day of the tragic day of 1941 ((( the atmosphere is goosebumps, the residents of Brest remember and honor this day...
An interesting feature, in order to look at the fanar, a lot of tourists gather), the atmosphere is interesting, cheerful. Not only children are photographed, but also adults with pleasure).
It is very interesting to look at the process of lighting lanterns, to plunge into a time when it was the norm. The clock shows the time when it starts. You can come back later. There are almost two dozen lanterns and the process lasts almost an hour. The lamplighter is photographed with everyone both at the beginning, after the first lights are lit, and then. According to my observations, then there are fewer people.
Now the lanterns were lit at 19:20 already in March, a chic old tradition, the lamplighter is very friendly, it's fashionable to take a picture and chat

A charming, wonderful, good-natured lamplighter who lights lanterns on the pedestrian street of Brest every day - won my heart) if you are in Brest, be sure to go and see. Please note that he lights the lanterns at different times, the time can be found on the lantern at the beginning of the street.
It is very convenient, it always corresponds to reality, the lamplighter is a very specific person who makes an indelible impression with his work and the dignity with which he does it for both children and adults, you can take a photo with him, for free, with everyone, very friendly
Well, it's definitely an iconic place. It is a beautiful tradition to light lanterns in Brest. Very beautiful. The lamplighter is just a fire. Pretty boy. Definitely worth seeing.
It is interesting to look at the beautiful tradition of the city of Brest. A lamplighter manually lights lanterns on a pedestrian street. It is very impressive and touching. He also allows you to take a photo for memory with him. I advise you to take a walk around the evening city. We really like Brest.

A beautiful, interesting pedestrian street for walking. It has many photo zones, cafes, shops. Live street music every evening. Lighting lanterns is a special ritual that attracts tourists. Lamplighter is colorful and very pleasant. When the lanterns are lit, he poses for a photo, he takes pictures with everyone. You need to rub the button on his jacket and make a wish.
It's a good idea, it works fine. The guests of our city like it. The lamplighter is generally an invaluable living exhibit. The idea can be developed by creating a whole, new idea of the city.
It seemed to me that Brest is a beautiful city in itself. There is also a pleasant atmosphere on the pedestrian street (Sovetskaya, it seems). A combination of antiquity and modernity.
It's very cool, there's nothing to confuse the Brest flavor! A mixture of Belarusian, SSRV and European culture. Everything is very healthy and the prices are reasonable.
I really wanted to see how it all happens. You rarely see so many positive emotions and happy faces anywhere. The feeling of something fabulous did not leave. The lamplighter was in uniform, bypassing the lanterns with a ladder, the crowd did not let him pass. Despite everything, he smiled at everyone, giving positive emotions and did not refuse photos to anyone. He said that if you iron a button on his uniform, then a wish will come true.
A must-visit. It is a very atmospheric and beautiful tradition. The street is pedestrian, you can walk, there are shops, cafes, everything is simple and beautiful.
A very convenient idea by the way. Especially suitable for guests of Brest. They indicate the exact time when the fanar will light the lamps. After watching this time, you can walk through other sights of the city, and then come to the location in time and take a photo for memory. Well done
We were with my daughter for 8 years. It is very interesting to see a real lamplighter. And look at this ritual. And at the same time, take a leisurely stroll along Sovetskaya pedestrian street. Listen to street musicians, go for a snack. There are a lot of establishments, there will definitely be something to your taste. This is the perfect place for family walks!
Brest is generally a very beautiful and old city, I have been there many times and I still want to go. The people are very hospitable and friendly. They like to swim "royally".
I love our Sovetskaya, on this street you can see and hear a lot of beautiful and wonderful things, as well as eat for every taste, we invite everyone to visit.
Hello everybody! A very important and necessary indicator of the lighting time of the lanterns! Because people from all over Belarus and not only come to watch this ritual. And since the daylight hours increase and decrease, this pointer is always in demand! It helps to orient yourself in advance and be sure to catch a beautiful action. Good luck to everyone!
A good place...
Always quiet, you can walk in the area...
Beautifully made for people!
Someone who doesn 't appreciate such beauty ... I was arrogant + I got excited!!!
I just wasn't where it was bad!
And everything is really beautiful here!appreciate what you have! There are many cities in Russia where there is no such beauty!
The indicator shows the time at which a lamplighter in a stylized form will appear in the evening and start lighting lanterns. The idea itself is very wonderful, and I expected to see some fabulous beautiful ritual. In reality, everything looked somewhat comical. At the appointed time, the lamplighter appears with a ladder, completely quietly, lights the next four lanterns. At this time, a crowd of spectators starts running after him, practically preventing him from lighting these lanterns. In 10 minutes, a spontaneous photo shoot with a lamplighter begins. My summary: the idea is great, but the embodiment is almost none. Or you could make a fabulous theatrical sketch.
I am sure that everyone is delighted with the pedestrian street of Brest. There are a lot of different shops, cafes, always well-groomed flower beds and, of course, a large number of different installations.
