The landlocked country of Belarus obtained its independence from the USSR in 1991. As a tourist destination it is developing only slowly, the capital Minsk attracting the most visitors. Visiting Belarus you cannot avoid its Soviet past, with sights such as the Khatyn Memorial, commemorating World War II, or the Stalin defence line with an extensive weapon collection. Make sure to take the rather impressive Minsk at night guided tour. Taste the local food which heavily features pork, beef and potatoes, and try some of their local drinks such as herbal nastoikas. They take some getting used to!
Holiday accommodation in Belarus
If you are considering a holiday in Belarus, apartments from a private landlord can be a good way to go. Rather than being dependent on the rules and schedules of a hotel, you can explore the country like a native and will have your own private space to retire to at the end of the day. This not only gives you greater flexibility and autonomy, but also tends to be a much cheaper option, especially for families or groups of friends. Go shopping at the local supermarket and prepare a delicious meal that you can enjoy around your dining table while discussing the local sights. You will find a range of apartments in Belarus on the HouseTrip website, mostly in and around the capital Minsk. Plan your holiday in this exciting country with HouseTrip at your side!
