Miscellaneous: Last time I was in Brest (May 2002) I saw several ATMs (near the banks), but no one of them had accepted my VISA Electron. They accepted (as far as I remeber) Cirrus/Maestro and (or) Eurocard/Mastercard cards (ask local people in forum for details). Fortunately, I could get the cash directly in the bank.

Take cash, preferably US Dollars in small notes.

Brest is one of the most important cities in Belarus. And, after you've visited Mink, that's probably the place to head for. ***Under construction still***
