Minsk

Must-see attractions include Independence Square, the National Library of Belarus, the Trinity Suburb, the Island of Tears, and the Great Patriotic War Museum. These sites offer a comprehensive overview of the city's history, culture, and architectural heritage.

The best time to visit Minsk is during the spring (May-June) and the early autumn (September-October) when the weather is pleasant, and the city is at its most vibrant. Summers are warm, but can be crowded, while winters are cold and snowy.

The local currency is the Belarusian Ruble (BYN). Currency exchange is readily available at banks, exchange offices, and some hotels. ATMs are also widely available throughout the city.
