Belarus Tours Travel Tips

  • Don't expect to speak English in Belarus. Belarus speaks a combination of languages, including Belarussian, Russian, and Polish – depending on where you are in the country – but English is not widely used.
  • Pack appropriately. The weather in Belarus can change rapidly – a sunny day can quickly turn into a heavy downpour. It also has intense winters with the possibility of snow from November to April. Plan accordingly for unexpected weather, and be sure to have a jacket.
  • Belarus has a low cost of living than other European countries, which gives you great value for your money.
  • Belarus has an efficient public transportation system for getting around. Major cities like Minsk and Brest have metros, and there are trains that run between major cities.
  • Many of the attractions and cities showcase significant Soviet influence from their past. You will see many sites commemorating the Great Patriotic War, which the Western world calls World War II.
  • Be prepared to eat lots of potatoes. Potato is the main dish served with almost all the local cuisine.
  • You can't travel directly from Russia to Belarus due to the lack of borders. Only locals can travel freely between the countries.

    Minsk is the largest city in Belarus, and east of the Svislach River is considered the Old Town. It was the first developed area of the city and showcases a lot of the original charm.

Minsk Old Town features several landmark attractions like Liberty Square, City hall, and the oldest church in Minsk. Liberty Square is a central location for people-watching, sightseeing the statues, or checking out the souvenir stalls. The area has lots of historic pubs and restaurants.

The main monument on the island consists of several mourning nuns and women grieving over soldiers who never returned home. Also, on the island is a weeping angel.
