Getting to know the city

Belarus is a land of elusive harmony, where the age—old silence of emerald forests is intertwined with the dynamic pulse of modernity.

Minsk is the real heart of this hospitable country. Our city fascinates with its spaciousness, sun-drenched avenues and welcoming soul. We invite you to an unforgettable journey through the capital, where every stone breathes history, and the streets lead through the epochs.

An architectural symphony of squares and avenues. Your acquaintance with the city will begin with the front gates, which are hospitably opened by the architecture itself. Minsk Gate - two eleven-storey twin towers majestically greet guests at the station, acting as a monumental symbol of the Soviet Empire.

Independence Avenue. The main artery of the city, which claims to be included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. It is a monumental ensemble, striking in its strict geometry and imperial scale.

Independence Square. One of the most spacious squares in Europe. It is here that the majestic Government House stands.

The Church of Saints Simeon and Helena. The famous Red Church, which has become the hallmark of the city. Its neo-Romanesque crimson brick walls preserve a touching and sad story of love and memory.

Minsk post office. A monumental building with a luxurious interior stained glass hall, frozen in time as a monument of the post-war era.

In the cradle of the old city, turn off the wide avenues and you will find yourself in a labyrinth of epochs, where Minsk reveals itself as an ancient European Magdeburg city.

Upper Town and Freedom Square. The historical core of the capital. The snow-white Minsk City Hall, a symbol of city self-government, soars above the city, and the ancient Gostiny Dvor stretches nearby.

Trinity suburb. A revived postcard from the 19th century on the banks of the Svisloch River. Tiled roofs, cobbled streets and pastel facades of houses are carried back centuries.

Zybitskaya Street. The gastronomic and cultural heart of modern Minsk. During the day it breathes history, and at night it turns into a bubbling artery of fun and music.

The red courtyard. The hidden pearl is a well inside the old quarters, which has become a favorite place for artists, photographers and seekers of authentic atmosphere.

A space of memory and greatness. Minsk artfully combines the comfort of ancient manors with the solemnity of memorials.

The zero kilometer of Belarus. A granite sign installed on Oktyabrskaya Square, from which roads fan out to all borders of the country and world capitals.

Victory Square. A sacred place where an Eternal Flame burns in a granite frame, reminding of the steadfastness and courage of the Belarusian people.

The Vankovich House. An old manor house in the classical style, inviting you to touch the noble life and culture of Minsk in the 19th century.

Minsk is waiting for you! Come to walk along the wide avenues, breathe in the coolness of Svisloch, get lost in the cozy courtyards of the Upper Town and take with you a piece of the warmth of this amazing land.
