Oh my hometown and the amazing Town Hall! For many locals it's just an old building, but for me it's a truly historic place, a symbol of the city, a breath of the era, an easily recognizable clock face, very familiar and soulful. I love the Town Hall and the little street of Suvorov Street on the left. Now, when I come home from time to time, I still take the time to walk nearby. This time we went inside, visited the Christmas tree exhibition and went up to the observation deck of the Town Hall. This is amazing! The views are fabulous, fluffy snow was falling. There is plenty of room to take photos, and the climb to the Town Hall is difficult, but grandparents, and especially young people, can easily overcome this milestone! While you are climbing, you can see the mechanisms of antique watches.When you are in Vitebsk, set a goal to climb up and see the panorama of the city! I was in the summer of 2009 and saw the whole city in full view, this time it was winter's turn! That's cool too.As for the exhibitions, they are quite interesting and quite interesting exhibitions often come. You can get to the really worthwhile ones. I was at an Italian fashion show at the time. Like it. I advise everyone!
Wonderful restaurant! Excellent cuisine, top–notch chef! Polite, courteous staff, knows their job! And a great interior that matches the location in the center of the "old town" of Vitebsk! I really liked it, we'll be back!
I got a lot of pleasure from going to the museum. Various expositions are very interesting and different genres are presented. And we were pleased with the exhibitions of contemporary artists in the lobby of the museum. The group's modern sculptures are original
The museum is beautiful, located in the town hall, some rooms are a little sparse (grandma's chest is upstairs), but for example the hall with nature is very good - a very beautiful and rich exposition.
There are a lot of expositions, we did not expect such a good quality of the museum, it is really interesting, we learned a lot of new things, it is very interesting to listen to the audio guide in the exposition with animals. The exposition with animals is the most beautiful, if you are in doubt which exhibitions to take, take with animals!
A wonderful town hall in the center of Vitebsk. You can go up to the observation deck and explore the city. The night lighting will look great. Now the building houses a museum of local lore.
A great museum! Thanks to the last Wednesday of the month (free admission), we went through many expositions.
I really liked Vitebsk from the height of the Town Hall tower.
I definitely recommend it
The symbol of the city, located in the very center. A rich collection of belongings of Vitebsk region. There are permanent and temporary expositions. It is not expensive, it is definitely worth a visit. You can also take a bird's-eye view of the city.
It's a very good museum, I liked it. There are a variety of expositions, the coolest, with animals. A great place to see what used to be in Vitebsk. The impressions are good
There is a large exposition, there is something to see. I visited the observation deck, even 140 steps were under the force. I looked at Vitebsk from a height. Just "Super"! The beauty is indescribable. Recommend.
We were at the bazaar, there were a lot of people, we managed to visit the basement of the town hall, it just opened, we were one of the first and went up to the observation deck. The place is interesting, there is something to see, especially the views from the top 30 minutes are given to climb. What I didn't like was that there is no single ticket, you need to pay for each hall separately, there is a common ticket for all halls, but the basement and the observation deck are paid separately.
We went to the town hall today, we wanted to go up to the observation deck, there is no one at the entrance, you go in and do not understand where to go, either the stairs on the left or the hall straight, because we had to go to the observation deck, we decided to go up the stairs, passed 3 floors, no one stopped us, an employee met us on the third, we we greeted each other and politely asked if it was possible to go up to the observation deck here, to which we received the answer: "no!", to our question "where?", this woman began to scold us for going up to the fourth floor and how we even thought of it (as if we had committed a mortal sin), because on the first floor on the floor at the entrance there is a pier "security guard" and there is a hall where you need to buy tickets and so on. In general, there we found out that the rise was at 13 o'clock, and it was 12.15. We went down, the mood turned sour. Getting up once an hour is understandable, but why the staff are rude to tourists is unclear! Make pointers, arrows in the end, and you don't have to tell off tourists who got lost, you can calmly explain, It's a pity that these Soviet habits are still found in such cultural places.
The building is divided into several small halls with exhibitions on nature, treasures, the history of the region and defense during the Great Patriotic War. For an additional fee, you can climb to the observation deck, which offers stunning views of the city
An interesting museum. But, I bought a single ticket for 8 expositions, as a result, they were not allowed to go to 2 expositions, they said that they were not included in the ticket, and on the first floor historical Vitebsk, the woman closed the doors and said take a walk somewhere, the room got very hot I don't have the strength to be there????? What??? What have I got to do with it?I didn't have time to wait. In general , 5 rooms out of 8 , it 's a pity
The museum is interesting. Separate halls, each with its own exposition. Children are allowed on the observation deck from the age of 10, it is not written anywhere. There are no signs of where to go. I had to look for employees and ask them to explain. Not everyone was nice, but maybe we're being mean. The children enjoyed the exhibitions with nature and WWII.
We were only on the observation deck on the tower of the town hall. It's a pity, of course, the museum is probably very interesting. But we saw the whole city from a bird's-eye view. Entrance to the observation deck every hour, only as part of a group.
The museum is ordinary. The tour service is mediocre. The guide could not answer some of the questions of the tour group.
The level of organization in this museum can be positively noted. Despite the high workload, we were able to arrange excursions without an appointment.
There is a museum in the town hall, 8 small halls. The ticket is 20p for adults, 10p for children. It seems a bit expensive.
Climbing the tower 7p/person.
Thanks to the museum staff for a good and interesting exhibition.I especially liked the exhibition about nature, the collection of weapons and the most interesting exhibition of treasures found in Belarus.
A good place, very beautiful views from the highest point of the town hall. There are only good impressions from this place. Good exposure. I advise everyone!
An interesting exposition of the nature, history and culture of the Vitebsk region. There are many exhibits from the excavations, handed over by the residents. There are several branches, such as the Art Museum and others.
A wonderful museum! The observation deck is beyond praise: the city is charming!
The museum is cozy with a good exposition.
And if you are lucky enough to get on an excursion to Ksenia Druzhkova, you will fall in love with both the museum and Vitebsk. He is an amazing tour guide. Energy, charisma, love for your work)
The place is beautiful. We went up to the top. The ascent takes place every hour. The cost is 7 Belarusian rubles . The view from here is amazing. If only there weren't such steep steps, it's generally beautiful. The full review can be viewed on our Dmitrii Dragon channel, about Vitebsk.
The red entry price is 5 rubles, no more, honestly. Small rooms, you need to present a ticket everywhere, more than once, as in normal museums. In general, strange impressions from the whole process. I didn't like it ((
The whole of Vitebsk is in one building. I really liked the museum. It is informative and interesting. We went up to the Town Hall. The view is amazing 😍
The Town Hall is one of the main attractions of Vitebsk. Inside there is a museum of local lore; 6 thematic sections - Nature, Ancient History, Treasures, Weapons, the Great Patriotic War and Objects of ancient life; many halls, you can stick for hours
An incredible museum. We thought we'd stop by for half an hour or an hour at most and go. And as a result, we spent more than 3 days there, we were especially impressed by the expositions with the nature of the region and the times of the war
This town hall is one of the few buildings of this type that have survived to this day. Although the architecture of the town hall has undergone some changes, it is a unique monument in the Baroque style. Now the Vitebsk Museum of Local Lore is located in the town hall. Therefore, you can admire the architecture from the outside, and get acquainted with the exposition inside.

In the Town Hall there is a museum of local lore with several halls, for each you have to pay separately to choose from. I liked the Great Patriotic War hall and also went up to the observation deck.
A very interesting museum. I especially liked the nature of the region. There are many exhibits of animals, birds, and plants. A lot of soul is invested. Employees are willing to communicate, polite, and interested.
An iconic place for locals and of course a place of attraction for tourists. The museum can tell a lot about the history of the city of Vitebsk, its identity and the defense of the city during the Second World War. There are many cafes and an Orthodox church nearby. The prices are reasonable, there are discounts for schoolchildren and students, even for non-residents of the Republic of Belarus. (upon presentation of the document). I recommend it for the room.

So far, I've only climbed the Town Hall tower, but the view is amazing! I got just in time for the sunset and the bell ringing, great! The whole center of Vitebsk is visible. Next, we plan to visit the expositions.
Very friendly staff, it's so inviting.
A great place for leisure activities for residents and guests of Vitebsk, good expositions, chic exhibitions, friendly and knowledgeable guides. An authoritative, competent, friendly director of the museum.
Good afternoon 🍁🍂
An amazing place on the city map. The observation deck opens the city in the palm of your hand.

On December 14, we visited the exhibition "Back to the USSR" for 4 rubles and ascent to the tower for 7 rubles each. We arrived in advance at 14.00, bought tickets for 17.00. Although we were warned about low beams, I still hit my head, it's good that I was wearing a hat. In general, there are 21 halls in museums. According to a single ticket, an inspection of 8 halls, the rest are paid separately, in our case - 4 rubles. The exhibition is not big, but since the museum employee told everything, it was pleasant and informative. But why should the museum staff get dressed at 17.50 if the museum is open to visitors until 18.00? I don't understand....
Responsive staff, they love their job. The museum itself is interesting in most of the exhibitions, but... The feeling that at least repairs are required
An interesting museum of local lore, located in the building of the city hall. The expositions are located in halls on different floors of the building, there is an observation deck at the top of the tower. For a more detailed acquaintance with the exhibits, I recommend using the services of a guide. Access to the observation deck is possible every hour accompanied by a guide, in some places you need to bend down due to small doorways. A wonderful panorama of the city center opens from above, good photos are guaranteed. It took about two and a half hours to inspect the main exposition, a couple of thematic exhibitions and climb to the observation deck.
The museum is good, it is located in the building of the former town hall. It is interesting to climb the observation deck and see the whole center of Vitebsk from a height. The only disadvantage is that you have to pay for each hall (apparently done in order to rip off as much as possible from tourists), the halls are small and not particularly interesting. I recommend only the observation deck.
Of the advantages, many guides (curators of halls) tell interesting and friendly stories, and there are aunts. This is not a characteristic of age, but the type of person who lived in the USSR. The museum is beautiful, the halls are interesting. I didn't like the navigation of the halls, everything is scattered throughout the building. It is difficult to climb to the observation deck, but it is worth it.
