More to do in Minsk:
Belarus has quaint rural villages, Disney-esque castles, and dense ancient forests aplenty – the capital of Minsk is not to be overlooked. But with fairly little known about this underrated European city yet lots to see, eat, and do.
Once you arrive in downtown Minsk, take a stroll along the banks of the Svislach River. During your walk, you’ll notice picturesque Trinity Hill, the city’s oldest surviving district. The pastel-hued houses here reminded you of the streets surrounding Buda Castle in Budapest. Opposite this iconic suburb sits the Isle of Tears. Cross the footbridge to take a closer look at the haunting memorial dedicated to the Soviet soldiers who lost their lives during the conflict in Afghanistan.
If it’s an evening of culture you crave, catch a ballet or opera performance at the National Academic Bolshoi Opera and Ballet Theatre. Tickets are affordable and pretty readily available, although booking in advance never hurts. If ballet and opera aren’t your thing, we still suggest visiting the opera house to check out its imposing St Petersburg-style architecture, beautiful fountains, and bronze statues.
After the show, it’s a short 15-minute walk to Liberty Square, home to City Hall. During the summer months, free jazz and classical concerts are held in front of it. Whilst you’re here you should also take a moment to appreciate the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit, it’s so pretty when it’s lit up at night.
Need a place to rest those weary legs? Pull up a pew at one of the local establishments nearby. Whether you fancy tucking into more traditional Belarusian fare or sipping a glass of red at an upmarket wine bar, you’ll find it all here.
