Belarus
Belarus is a hospitable country and a real hidden treasure for those who like travelling, getting new impressions and collecting memorable experiences. A great number of historical, cultural and natural monuments is concentrated on the relatively small territory of the country located at the very East of Europe. Mild climate, beautiful natural landscapes and rich historical heritage allow visiting the
country all year round.
The capital city of Belarus is Minsk – one of the oldest cities in Eastern Europe founded in 1067 The city’s image combines modern buildings, Soviet architecture, ancient churches and lots of green areas. The historical legacy of Belarus is spread all over the country. Two famous castles, included in the UNESCO world heritage list – Mir Castle and Nesvizh Castle – greet their visitors with medieval grandeur surrounded by rural landscapes and park ensembles.

Belarusian culture and traditions are very rich and diverse, and reflect the country’s location at the crossing point between West and East Europe and the country’s long and turbulent history. The unique examples of local crafts can be found, among others, at the Dudutki open-air museum where the typical rural life of the 18-19th centuries was reconstructed.
Belovezhskaya Pushcha is a world-famous nature reserve included in the UNESCO List of Cultural Heritage. The vast areas of virgin forests serve as home for a large number of rare plants and animals among which the European bison – one of the symbols of Belarus.
It is impossible not to mention the Belarusian cuisine that represents a perfect mixture of long cooking traditions both of West and East Europe and offers delicious dishes made from fresh natural products.
