In November 2018, by a decree of the President of the Republic of Belarus, the Belarusian part of the exclusion zone was opened to tourists. Earlier, only hunting and fishing were allowed in the 30-kilometer zone around the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant.

• about a hundred ghost villages of Khoinitsky, Braginsky, Narovlyansky districts

In some of the resettled villages there are Belarusian sights, for example, the Gerard Palace in the village of Demyanki.
