Duration: 2.5-3 hrs
The capital city of Belarus is situated in a picturesque place on the banks of the Svisloch river. Minsk was first settled over 900 years ago in 1067. Not many real ancient monuments have remained in Minsk, much of old Minsk was razed to the ground during World War II. The city Minsk of today is the city of wide streets, modern and old architectural ensembles, fountains, shady parks and green boulevards.
Among the sights that you will see are:
- Independence Square with the House of Government (1929-1933)
- the "Red" Krasny Roman Catholic Church
- Victory Square with its 38 metres grey obelisk and eternal flame commemorating the heroes of World War II
- Yanka Kupala Park with a wonderful fountain
- Troitskoye Predmestye (Trinity Suburb) - restored buildings of the 19th century
- Afgan Monument on the island of tears
- "Upper town" (now the Liberty Square region) with two main churches of two main confessions in Belarus - the Orthodox Saint Spirit Cathedral and the Catholic Saint Virgin Mary Cathedral
The city tour gives a good opportunity to enjoy a special hospitable atmosphere of Minsk, to admire its surprisingly clean, and beautiful streets and avenues, to get to learn the history, culture and traditions of the Belarusian people.
