Azgur Museum

I personally believe this is one of the most impressive places in the city. Lots of sculptures are gathered in a single room - and you shall know the specifics of the era: Stalin, Lenin, all the generals and marshalls. Occasionally they have some events (cinema, theater plays, poetic readings).

This is pretty much the only place in town where you can watch cinema classics and art house films (screened in the original language with Russian subtitles). The chairs in the Cinemascope hall are amazingly comfortable so it's easy enough to take a nap if you aren't enjoying the movie!

Grand Café

One of Minsk's 3 most upmarket and central bar-restaurants (the others being Bistro de Luxe and the Cafe de Paris), Grand Cafe has a beautiful setting, a long bar with excellent cocktails, a typical menu with solid choices – maybe not particularly inventive – and upmarket clientele with a sprinkle of foreigners. Great location!

If you place a cigarette between the fingers of the 'Smoking Man', you will supposedly have good luck for the entire day. And if you sit near the 'Minsk Lady' and secretly touch her knee, you'll soon find a girlfriend.

You won't find somewhere as calm or intimate near the centre of Minsk as Kastrychnitskaya Vulica. Old (some of them still working) red brick factory buildings, a small Lenin sculpture, an honour wall, rare trams and complete silence – no other place will better show you how things were in times past.

Because it's big, it's beautiful, it's a masterpiece. Cowek's art has obvious folklore roots, Fernandes's - Van Gogh, Frida Kahlo and giraffes. It's a thing you can look at for half an hour doing nothing but enjoying every small detail.

The best time to take a ride on the Ferris wheel is either at sunset or late at night when the city welcomes you with its cosy golden lights. Although there are closed cabins, the open cabins are nice – don't miss the opportunity to feel the breeze 50 metres above the earth!

This gallery is home to six collections: painting, graphics, sculpture, decorative and applied arts, and posters. If you're interested, you can even meet a gifted local artist and visit their workshop. It can be difficult to find art that's created independently of the Belarusian state, but this is one place where it's possible.
