- Glubokoye Local History Museum (Museum of Local Lore) — Compact, well-curated displays on the town’s everyday life, the multiethnic past (including Jewish life), and wartime history; great first stop to orient yourself and pick up local tips.
- Former Great Synagogue building — A striking, photogenic remnant of the town’s long Jewish presence; worth visiting for architecture and the palpable sense of layered history when you stand outside and read the memorial plaques nearby.
- Jewish Cemetery and Holocaust Memorial — A sober, important site where you can pay respects and learn about the tragic events that touched the town; caretakers and local signage often add context you won’t find online.

- Town Market / Central Square — The beating heart of Glubokoye: seasonal markets, stalls selling local cheese, bread and honey, and a good place to practice Russian or Belarusian with friendly vendors.
- Lake Glubokoye embankment and waterfront walk — An easy, scenic stroll along the water where locals fish, jog and gather at sunset; simple but very Belarusian and relaxed—bring a snack and linger.
- Central Park (Park of Culture and Rest) — A classic small-town green space with benches, monuments and occasional open-air events; good for people-watching and catching local weekend life without any tourist frills.
- Historic Railway Station — More than a transit point: an atmospheric place to feel the town’s connection to the wider region, watch local trains come and go, and plan cheap onward travel like a backpacker.
- Palace of Culture (Dom Kultury) — Where concerts, folk evenings and community shows happen; check the noticeboard—attending a show here is one of the best ways to see everyday culture up close.
- World War II memorial complex — A set of monuments and plaques honoring local combatants and victims; quietly powerful and frequently visited by residents on remembrance days.
- Independent bakeries and craft stalls around the old streets — Not a single landmark, but a neighborhood-level treasure hunt: small bakeries, traditional skilfully-made goods and friendly shopkeepers who’ll offer samples and local stories.
