What to see in Minsk: a one-day route

Minsk · October 15, 2026 · 2 min read

If you have just one day in the capital, here is a route you can do on foot and by car.

Morning: the old town

Start with the Upper Town and the Trinity Suburb: cosy streets, cafés and views of the Svisloch. Nearby is the Island of Tears, a memorial to soldiers who died abroad.

Day: the centre and parks

  • Victory Square and Gorky Central Park.
  • The National Library: a rhombicuboctahedron-shaped building with an observation deck inside.
  • Independence Avenue, the main street of the city.

Evening: out of town

If you still have time and energy, drive to the Mound of Glory or the Stalin Line: they are not far from the ring road.

Convenient with a rental car

You can pick up a car at our office near Vostok metro from 09:00 to 20:00 free of charge. Any economy class car will do for city trips, and for a weekend out of town you can take something roomier.
