"MINSK" Minsk by flyingkiwi

Minsk Travel Guide: 339 reviews and 826 photos

A step into the unknown

I arrived in the capital of Belarus early May 2004 knowing nobody except my visa 'fixer'. After a shakey start I found it to be a Country of warm & hospitable people each extending a hand of friendship to me.

You can read more about my adventures in Belarus in my new travelogue entitled "The Baltic's & Beyond" coming soon to VT.
