We were on an excursion with 4th grade children on April 24. Both teachers and students really enjoyed the tour. An impressive place! I would like to mention the work of the guide. I really liked how accessible and fascinating the guide Zakhar was. He is very attentive and engages children to listen and remember, which is very difficult but important. Therefore, the tour, the place was very impressive, I definitely recommend visiting it and it is better to have a good guide.
We visited Brest quite often, we visited the Brest Fortress several times, but this was the first time we visited the 5th Fort Museum. An impressive place! The museum exhibit is not very large, but it is informative. We didn't take the tour, I can't appreciate it. A walk through the catacombs is fascinating, sometimes creepy, especially when you are not in a group, but wandering there alone. My sixteen-year-old daughter liked it too. Next time we visit this complex, we will take a guided tour) Definitely recommend you to visit!
The 5th Fort Museum is the only defensive structures that remained almost 100 percent intact. The fortress itself was almost completely destroyed in 1941, and then the Soviet garrison quickly abandoned the fort and the entire fort remained intact!!! it is very large, take at least two hours to inspect it, be sure to take a guided tour (a museum employee conducts it with a very smart and knowledgeable employee with a normal sense of humor ) it's not expensive, but you'll hear a lot of information and there's nothing to do in the dungeon without it (it's cold there, put on a sweatshirt and take a flashlight) I was very pleased with the inspection of the 5th fort and definitely recommend it, as you will definitely not be able to find a better preserved fortress in the Republic of Belarus.
