Belarus is known for its ancient cities and towns, such as Polatsk, Vitsebsk, Navagradak, Mir and others, with their prominent historic, architectural and artistic monuments which are visited by numerous tourists. A number of world-known artists and writers – Adam Mitskevich, Fyodor Dastaevski, Mark Shagal, Kazimir Malevich, Mihail Glinka, Guillaume Apollinaire – have Belarusian roots.
Today Belarus is striving for active cooperation with various countries of the world.
Belarusians are a hospitable and amiable nation. Minsk is one of the cleanest and greenest cities of Europe. The current population of the capital is 2 million inhabitants, but a well-developed system of public transportation, which includes a subway, allows one to quickly get to any part of the city.
We await you in Minsk and hope that you will feel comfortable in our city.
