Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Independence Square, Minsk 223050 Belarus

The main square offers the best examples of prewar and post-war architecture: the Government House, the Red Church and early 1900s dwelling buildings. It makes a nice walk with a view over the beginning of Independence Avenue, one of the Europe's longest main streets.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Trinity Suburb, Ulitsa Starovilenskaya 10а, Minsk, Belarus

A very cute walking area with two important sites: the Island of Tears dedicated to Belarusians who died in overseas wars and a panorama over the Old Town. The suburb used to be the end of Minsk but now it's very much in the center of the city.

Duration: 25 minutes

Stop At: Victory Square, Minsk Belarus

Victory Square is an excellent opportunity to discuss war in Belarus. The occupation claimed every fourth life in the country and the memorial speaks of that. Also, the square is lined by the last buildings of the Soviet style called "Staline Empire" and make a sight of their own. Last but not least, Lee Harvey Osvald lived nearby for 2 years.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: National Library of Belarus, Nezavisimosti 116, Minsk 220114 Belarus

The grand building of the Library is overlooking the last Soviet district of Minsk: Vostok. Dwelling buildings there feature grand murals from the 1980s. A walk here can be coupled with an observation pad lift but after 1200 when the Library opens.

Duration: 20 minutes
