Minsk

You should not miss a visit to the Belarusian capital city - Independence Square, which contains one of the largest public squares in Europe at 7 hectares. In the evenings, you can walk in the square to see the dancing lights and water fountains. You will be able to learn about Belarusian history at the National History Museum and you will experience the culture of the country at the National Art Museum.

Brest Railway Museum

Located in Brest, near Belarus' southern border, the Brest railway museum is well worth a visit. Featuring a range of unique trains, such as steam locomotives, steam cranes, diesel locomotives, and a snow plough! The museum is best known for its train travel throughout the country area and is located on the Belarusian border.

Dudukti

You can get an insight into Belarusian culture and folklore with a day trip to Dudutki Ethnological Museum Complex from Minsk. Belarusian handicrafts are on display and the complex serves as an insight into the way of life in Belarus. There is an opportunity to see how ancient horseshoes were made and how local potters turn clay into objects.

Tower of Kamyenets

It was built with red bricks in the 13th century and has been called the 'White Tower' because of its colour. The Tower of Kamyenets is actually red, not white. Formerly, Belarus had many towers located in a number of cities, including Kamyenets, Brest, and Grodno. Unfortunately, all of these were destroyed during the war, so now only one remains.

Grodno

Additionally, visit the city of Grodno, which is located on the western border of Belarus and houses the Kalozha Church, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In Belarus, an Orthodox church still stands that was constructed in the 12th century and is used to worship Orthodox Christians. The church is situated next to a river, which enhances its romantic, watery ambience.
