Minsk is one of those cities that surprises you. After being torn down during WWII, it has been built from the ground up in a flurry of cosmopolitan architecture and soviet-style design. Despite its reputation, Minsk flourishes in a mishmash of trendy cafes, nouveau restaurants, and a throbbing nightlife. It is well and truly immersed in the modern day, with sushi bars and independent art galleries popping up around every corner. Though it was razed to the ground, leaving very few reminders of its history, Minsk still has a number of cultural bastions that hark back to yesteryear. There are a collection of museums that provide an insight into the fascinating history of Belarus. Check into one of our apartments in Minsk to uncover the city's past and to enjoy its modern-day splendours.
The city's bridge between traditional soviet life and modern culture means that there is a mishmash of Minsk accommodation available, ranging from high-end, multi-storey hotels to more local options like guesthouses and hostels. There are plenty of apartments surrounding all the major attractions, too, which give you the chance to explore the city at your own pace.
Minsk is filled with a great selection of historic sights and modern-day attractions, so it makes sense to place yourself in the centre of the action. Our Minsk apartments are located all around the centre, giving you easy access to all the iconic landmarks.
Thanks to its burgeoning modern art scene and its never-ending supply of culture, Minsk has a number of boutique shopping opportunities where you can get your hands on some local arts and crafts.
In the heart of Minsk, pr Nezalezhnastsi is surrounded by incredible beige neo-classical buildings and lush urban parks. It's also home to a great selection of shops in the resident arcade, where you can browse boutique stores bursting with local textiles and delightful knickknacks.
For an artier souvenir, head to Palats Mastatsva, which exhibits a collection of fine Belarusian art. As well as a number of showrooms, there is also a great collection of antique and used book stalls, as well as vendors selling contemporary modern art. It's worth going to the Palats for the atmosphere alone, which is vibrant and free-spirited.
Another arty experience is waiting at Podzemka, an underground bohemian shop that doubles up as an independent art gallery. Here, you can find all manner of goodies, including unusual calendars, arty pieces, and local, handmade jewellery. From our Minsk apartments you can easily get to all these arty hotspots and soak up the contemporary vibe of Minsk life.
The National Airport Minsk is set close to the city centre and there are a number of ways you can get into town after you've landed. There's an airport bus which leaves from the terminals every half an hour or so and travels to the central bus terminal, right next to the main railway station. Tickets can be bought from the airport or on board the bus and are incredibly affordable.
There's a train service that has recently been launched that connects up the airport and the city centre. It only leaves a few times a day and the journey takes just under an hour, including the shuttle journey to the station from the airport terminals.
Finally, if you don't fancy catching the bus or train, you can get a taxi from the terminals. There are a number of stands dotted around the airport, and you can get an affordable, quick ride into the city centre. It's worth bargaining and agreeing on a price before the journey begins so there's no nasty surprises when you arrive.
Getting around Minsk is easy and very cheap, with efficient bus, tram, and metro services available from all of the major attractions.
