Met my tour guide (Kristina) at my hotel. She drove me around and showed me all the key sights in Minsk and explained its history in great detail. We stopped at several locations and walked around to get better views. All in all it was well worth it. I would not have been able to figure all this out on my own. She recommended I try the potato pancakes which I did, twice in fact. They were very good! I would recommend this tour to others who come to Minsk.

Highlights

Visit the historical center: Freedom Square and the Trinity Suburb

Discover the Soviet part of the city on Independence Avenue

Description

The mixture of old, soviet and new architecture makes Minsk city tour a unique experience. We'll visit the historical centre of Minsk as well as the Soviet part of the city and modern districts. First, we'll get acquainted with the historical centre of the city - Freedom Square (or as it is called by people Upper Town), where we'll have a walk to see the charming historical buildings of XVII-XIX centuries and remarkable statues and monuments. Next we'll drive along Winners Avenue to take a look at the new districts of Minsk with its impressive modern constructions. After seeing the modern part of the city we'll get back to the history to visit the moving Island of Tears and to explore the Trinity Suburb, walking around its cozy yards and corners. Then we'll drive to Independence Square and Avenue to admire the magnificent soviet arquitecture left from 1940s-1950s. And finally, we'll see the outstanding building of the National Library which is considered to be one of the symbols of Belarus.

The tour requires a car, which can be arranged by the guide.

Kristina was a fantastic guide. Very knowledgeable and able to answer any questions we asked. The tour was set at a relaxing pace. We even had time for Kristina to recite some poetry in Belarusian language. Our tour consisted of part walking and part by car. We covered very much of the city in our 3 hours and learnt many facts about the history of a very beautiful city.
Great tour of a unique city

I organised my visit to Minsk at the last minute and thankfully Kristina was able to prepare a great tour of the city. It was a chilly November day so she offered to hire a car for a small extra charge: it was a good idea as we were able to see more in the allotted time and warm ourselves up again between sights. I would recommend Kristina to anyone for her enthusiasm, knowledge of history and willingness to adjust the route to take into account my personal interests.
