Description
We invite you to take a sightseeing tour of Rechitsa, one of the oldest and most distinctive cities in the Gomel region.
This journey will allow you to discover the multifaceted character of the city, where a rich history is intertwined with industrial achievements and spiritual traditions.
Our acquaintance with Rechitsa will begin with its modern pride — the Oil Museum. You will learn how the discovery of "black gold" changed the fate of an entire region, and you will be symbolically initiated into the oil industry.

You will walk along the picturesque embankment of the Dnieper River, where the elegant chapel of St. Euphrosyne of Polotsk is located, and appreciate the panorama of the city.
The cultural life of Rechitsa will be revealed to you in the Alexander Isachyov Art Gallery and in the Museum of Local Lore with its extensive collections.
We will also remember the famous countryman, historian Mitrofan Dovnar-Zapolsky, and see the building of the former postal and telegraph office, a silent witness to the Art Nouveau era.
This tour is an ideal way to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the Belarusian regional center, feel its unique rhythm and get acquainted with the heritage that the locals cherish.
