== Transportation ==

The best way to get to Brest is by train. The city is located on the railway [[Berlin]]-[[Moscow]]. A ticket from Berlin costs about 120 Euro. The Main Station is called ''Brest Tsentralnyj'' (Brest Central). 

When travelling by train from Berlin to Moscow Brest is the place where the gauge conversion takes place. Sometimes it is possible to use this break to leave the train and go for walk into the city. You have to talk to the sleeping car attendant to get to know whether you may leave and when and where to get back on the train. The ul. Sovetskaya is near by, after crossing the pedestrians bridge turn left and after some 50 meters right. The pedestrian zone starts after some 300 meters.

One also can get to Brest by bus from many European countries. The central bus station is located in ulitsa Mitskevicha in the central part of the city. From here buses to many towns and villages in the Brest oblast' are departing.

Public transport in Brest is cheap. There are buses, trolleybuses and so called “marshrutki”, minibuses, that are going on a certain route, one can stopp at bus-stops to get in or off. Tickets for buses are called "talony" and can be baught for some 20 Euro cents in kiosks near the bus-stops or from the driver. The marshrutka costs about 35 Cents. Of course there are taxis in Brest, too. If there is no counter in the cab one should agree on the price in advance to avoid stupid surprises. A trip from Central station to the city centre should cost not more than four Dollars.
