The National Library of Belarus is a significant architectural landmark offering a unique tourist experience. It is highly accessible, with elevators and modern facilities, including access to its popular observation deck. Visitors can explore independently, but guided tours are available to provide deeper insights into its history, architecture, and collections, often costing a small fee. While the library itself has regular operating hours, the observation deck is generally open year-round, though specific hours might vary, and it requires a modest entry fee, usually a few Belarusian Rubles. A typical visit focusing on the observation deck and admiring the exterior takes about 1-2 hours, while a more in-depth exploration or tour might extend to 2-3 hours. The library is especially stunning at night due to its elaborate illumination.
