Belarus Shopping Tips by A-Friend-Of-Belarus Top 5 Page for this destination

BELARUS: Department store

Something like GUM and CUM, if you know what I mean. This is how department stores in the Soviet Union looked like.

What to buy: Men's Clothes, Women's Clothes, Sporting Goods, Art, Gifts, Music, Home Furnishing, Toys and Games, Children's Clothes, Bath and Beauty...

Directions: Metro station "Partizanskaya", next to the Tourist Hotel.

Theme: Department Store

ГУМ (GUM): Shopping in Minsk

This place is located in Prospekt Nezavisimosti, near McDonald's. You can buy almost everything there. Well, apart from postcards. I found a postcards only in the Main Post Office ("Пошта" in Belarussian). There are no hyper-markets in Belarus, no multi-national companies such as Vero, Metro and so on, which is great! They have their own markets ("магазiн" in Belarussian, or "магазин" in Russian), and one of them is GUM (ГУМ). So it's a right place for you if you want to buy some clothes, gifts, shoes, whatever.

What to buy: Babushka, or some other similar toys.

What to pay: From 5-10 Euros.

Address: Prospekt Nezavisimosti

Directions: The city center.
