How safe is Brest?
It's a safe city, but you shouldn't visit remote sleeping areas at night, because there may be drunk people there, especially on weekends. The centre is a fairly quiet place, where there are always a lot of people in the evenings

My hometown is a really comfortable,and safe place. I will be happy to give you a tour of Brest in the future. One of the main attractions of the city is Sovetskaya Street. Here you can see fairs, as well as a crowd of tourists watching the lamplighter. Yes, he still works in this city and lights the lanterns every evening at a certain time .
