       The mobile guide is the system of QR codes which will be installed at the most popular objects of the historical and cultural legacy of the region. Initially the system will comprise 40 tourist attractions in Grodno and ten attractions in Grodno District.

The guide will also show which tourist attractions are located nearby. The information about all facilities will be available in Russian, Belarusian, Polish, Lithuanian, English, and German.
