Minsk, with its huge parks, huge streets, legendary crazy Minsk nightlife and a population of approximately 2 million, Belarus, also known as The rarest city in >Belarus. I really enjoyed visiting Minsk, where I stayed for 3 days.. In fact, on the way back, “I will come to this city again.” I left saying. So, to the best of my ability, I have created a Minsk attractions route for you below.. Minsk, dear.

Belarus Visa Status
This is the best part: Belarus is a country that does not require a visa. All you have to do is to have travel health insurance when entering the country; or before arriving in Belarus, to show a photocopy of your travel health insurance covering Belarus when entering Belarus. That’s all.
Before you make plans for Belarus, I recommend that you read my All Information About Belarus article line by line.. That article gives more comprehensive information about Belarus and Minsk.
Places to Visit in Minsk
Now, when I go to Belarus, it’s October. it was the end. So, lounging in the parks like that; I couldn’t wander around the streets for long. That’s why I say; in case I’ll come to Belarus again.
Minsk Attractions Map Locations
But as much as I can, I didn’t have the chance to visit the places to see in Minsk for 2-3 days.. Below, I have listed the places to visit in Minsk in order.. So, let our Minsk tour begin :
1. Independence Square
I say hello to Minsk by visiting one of the most important squares of Minsk. This is Independence Square.
My suggestions for a trip to Belarus are innumerable
The square is right there. a statue of Lenin in the middle; Just behind it is the Church of St. Simon and Helene.. It used to be called Lenin Square.. It is also one of the largest squares in Europe.
- (Transportation: Lenin Square Metro Stop)
2. Church of St. Simon and Helena
The church, also known as the “Red church”, is located just behind Independence Square. You will already see that it says hello to you with its crimson tile tower.
This church, which was completed in 1910,. It was designed by the Polish architect Tomasz Pajzderski at the time.. It took 5 years to build. Admission is free of course.
- (Transportation: Lenin Square Metro Stop)
3. Tochka
When I pass by and see the paintings and shops inside, it becomes one of the buildings I stop by and take nice photos.
Tochka
I pay 6 Rubles for coffee and croissant from the kiosks inside. I’m moving to the edge of the glass. I enjoy watching the bustle of people walking on the street with my headphones in my ear.. I guess I don’t like anything as much as I like traveling in unknown places.
4. Town Hall and Park
I am coming to a very beautiful park right next to Minsk town hall.
This is one of the most beautiful areas in Minsk, in my opinion.. The Cathedral of the Holy Spirit, located just behind it, is my next stop.. By the way, I’m going to summarize here for you.. It doesn’t have much to tell because. If you only knew what other parks there are !
5. Holy Spirit Church
located just behind the Town Hall; This church, which means Cathedral of the Holy Spirit in Turkish, is a very, very valuable religious building in Belarus.. Why ?
Cathedral of the Holy Spirit on the left
Because this is the central cathedral of the Belarusian Orthodox Church. You can understand it from the air inside.. The construction of the church is also quite old: It was built between 1633 and 1642.
- Transportation: It is located right behind the Town Hall.. You can even come by walking.
6. Bar Street (on Ulitsa Zybitskaya street)
As I walk from the church to the river, I realize something: I love this area. Eki in the city mood. No cars on the streets. River on one side, parks on the other. What’s more !
Bars Street: My suggestions for places to visit in Minsk
While visiting the region, you can also visit this street I’m seeing you. There are bars and pubs here actually.. It is very nice especially in the evenings and in the summer/spring season.
Also, they recommended the place called Tumany the most.. For your information. my day was not enough. Maybe you’d like to see it one evening.
7. Graffiti Street
I want to go to a different part of Minsk now. The place I’m going to now is a city that hosts the beauties I love the most, smells like streets, and locals struggle to have art in a city.
Wonderful graffiti streets of Minsk
In the area of Vulica Kastrycnickaja, they decorated all the houses with graffiti and murals. Everywhere is colorful. They also attributed meaning to almost all graffiti.. The photos really explain what I mean.. I love such places
- Transportation : Pervomaiskaya stop by metro
8. Gorky Park
Gorky park, aka Maksim Gorky Central Children’s Park, is actually a public park in Belarus. Park built in the 1800s. It was named after the famous Russian writer Maxim Gorky.
There are Ferris wheels, ski areas, activity centers in the park.. It would be great in the spring and summer seasons. For your information.
Before you buy a plane ticket to Belarus, I say read this article.
By the way, in Minsk- sky park. Janki Kupaly Park, Marata Kazieja, Victory park are just a few of them.
By the way, I say park: Actually, these are huge forest lands.. It’s like a joke! That’s why I don’t say that Minsk is a very beautiful city.
- Transportation : You can come to Victory Square stop by subway and walk 5-10 minutes from there
9. War History Museum (Belarusian State Museum of the Great Patriotic War)
All the places I have described so far were in the center of Minsk. In other words, you can reach all points on foot in maximum 30 minutes.. For what I’m about to tell you, you will either have to go by car or by taxi.
The Museum of War History, is my next stop and I really love it here.. 2nd. This is an extraordinary museum that reveals the events of World War II.. They are also very successful in this regard.

What I Didn’t Go To in Minsk
3 days weren’t enough for Minsk. As Minsk Nightlife is so beautiful, there is not much time left for the day. Also, dusk was falling very early. So, in case you go to Minsk and you have time :
- Belarussian State Circus : Circus. They praised this place so much.. time is not enough. By the way, it was one of the proper circuses.. FYI.
- National Academic Bolshoi Opera and Ballet Theatre : If you haven’t watched an opera and ballet show, I suggest you add this place to your list.. But before going, you have to buy tickets online.
