About National Library of Republic of Belarus

The National Library of Belarus stands as a modern symbol of Minsk and a centre of learning and culture. Its diamond-shaped design makes it easy to spot from far away. Inside, the library holds millions of books, manuscripts, and digital resources. Visitors can explore reading halls, exhibitions, and public spaces that highlight Belarusian history, literature, and modern knowledge in an organised and welcoming setting.


Travellers exploring Belarus Tour packages usually include this landmark because it combines education, architecture, and city views in one visit. The building also represents the country’s growth in science and culture. Beyond books, the library works as a public space with exhibitions, events, and viewpoints, making it interesting even for visitors who are not regular readers.


About Tickets / Entry Fees

Entry to the National Library of Belarus is free for the general areas. Access to the observation deck requires a ticket, costing around AED 5–15 per person, depending on the season and time of visit.
