Tour description: It is impossible to imagine a tour to Belarus without visiting its capital, Minsk. Minsk is a large and modern European city with wide avenues, beautiful architecture, a cozy “Trinity Suburb” with small picturesque houses and narrow cozy streets, impressive temples of the Old Town, and amazing sports arenas. The city has become too big that it is impossible to show everything within a standard city tour and that is why we do it in the morning and then continue after included lunch.  Thus during the two days of your stay in Minsk you are sure to see all important sights of the capital.
