Today Brest region is widely known outside the country thanks to its symbols: Brest Fortress and Belovezhskaya Pushcha. In addition, clean rivers and lakes, dense forests, pristine bogs of Polesie, a rich historical and heroic past – all this contributes to a varied, interesting and informative recreation in the region.

– We have preserved and restored many historical, cultural and architectural monuments, – says Denis Nikityuk, head of the tourism department of the sports and tourism department of Brest Region Executive Committee. – Among the most famous is, of course, a symbol of heroism and courage, Memorial complex "Brest Fortress-Hero". But there is also a palace complex in Ruzhany, Kossovo palace, Kamenets vezha (tower) and the excavation of a Slavic settlement of the 13th century, the Nemtsevichi estate, where the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk was signed between Germany and Russia during the First World War. This is the pearl of the Belarusian Polesie – the city of Pinsk, the distinctive Motol and Bezdezh, the Balt Ishkold. And, of course, the city of Brest itself. Besides, there are many interesting places in the region associated with the names of famous people, such as Lev Sapega, Adam Mitskevich, Tadeusz Kosciuszko, Napoleon Orda, Mikhail Oginsky, Alexander Suvorov, Menachem Begin, Petr Klimuk and others. For those who for some reason left Belarus and want to visit their native places or visit the place where their ancestors lived, nostalgic tourism is relevant. In total, tourist organizations offer guests more than 250 excursion routes in Brest region. One of the attractions not only of the region, but of the whole country is the National Park "Belovezhskaya Pushcha" with extensive hunting grounds and the
residence of "Father Frost". Today it is the largest forest in Europe, which has retained its original appearance to this day and has become the "home" for the world's largest population of auroch, other rare animals and relict plants listed in the Red Book. Here in Viskuli in 1991 an agreement on the collapse of the USSR was signed. Today, in the National Park, one can comfortably spend vacation: relax in a tourist complex, get acquainted with the national Belarusian cuisine, be alone with nature on ecoroutes, usefully spend time in nature and archaeological museums, a museum of folk life and ancient technologies, and recharge with positive emotions during events. – In our region, we have all the opportunities for water tourism, – says Denis Nikityuk. – For example, the only cruise ship in the republic runs along the Pripyat River. Excellent conditions have been created for those who like hunting and fishing, as well as for recreation in the countryside. There are 12 forestry enterprises and 434 agritourism entities in the region, which offer a cozy family vacation with a sauna, spa treatments, fishing, horseback riding, master classes of folk crafts and folklore programs. Thanks to the powerful medical base and loyal pricing policy of healthcare institutions, medical tourism and sanatorium-resort recovery are one of the most popular areas among guests of the region. 11 sanatoriums pleasantly surprise guests with excellent value for money, offer active recreation and good cuisine.
