An amazing fact that the attractions of Belarus were not even considered even a month ago in my life rhythm, and I didn't even think about the independent journey by the car in Belarus and I didn't even think about the car.

But this is how the circumstances have developed that in early April I decided to go for the weekend in Minsk - the capital of Belarus on. And already in the process of preparing for this trip, the thought and attractions of Belarus, and about the opportunity to travel by car through this country.

Suddenly, school memories of the beauties of Belovezhskaya Pushcha and the legendary Brest Fortress came unexpectedly in memory. After analyzing the route Minsk Brest, I discovered many more interesting places that could also be easily viewed on the way on the car.

So gradually, my sightseeing route was developed, in which in just one week I was able to visit many amazing historical and modern places, walk through the old parks and to climb on narrow stone stairs in the ancient towers of knightly castles, see many unusual representatives of the animal world and even meet With a fairy tale in the face of such an unusual character as Santa Claus! 🙂

Well, now everything is in order ... To find out about any excursion or a tourist facility, you can go on the link.

The case was in the spring. Nature gradually occurred after a winter sleepy state. In the suburbs, the early April, gloomy cried the rain. Also sadly looked the flight field of the airport Vnukovo and airplanes waving on it.

UT835 flight on the route Moscow-Minsk from Utair went on schedule. At 10 am, we are located on board a small plane. Behind the windows, Moscow was also frowned by Moscow, and I have in my heart, oddly enough, it was sunny and a little exciting in front of the unknown.

So always happens at the very beginning of the trip. And this is a feeling that, probably, so manits to himself in every trip.

The flight lasted only 1 hour 20 minutes, and I took up more detailed study of the details of the preliminary route of my own travel. Initial actions, such as transfer from the airport, rental apartments in Minsk, I realized the booking of the car. But the entire excursion program was still completely thought out.

What can be viewed in Belarus by car? In front of me were interesting sights of Belarus and the general direction where I would like to go. And where I will stop, how much time it will be necessary to inspect each object, on what day I will be found in the same place - it was still very foggy.

Day 1-4. Hello, city Minsk

First impressions

And here I am already in place, at the International Airport of the Belarusian Capital, in Minsk. Here too cloudy, but dry and warmer.

First of all, I decide to acquire a local currency. Money in Belarus is generally a special conversation. Get for your Russian rubles - full millions ... it's cool! Immediately you feel if not Rockefeller, then at least his relative. 😀

Giving 10 thousand Russian rubles, I received almost 3 million Belarusian instead.

It turned out, this is a very pleasant occupation - "rustle" by millions. 😆

Good friends! Especially in those places where you plan to come. My longtime friend met me at the airport and very quickly brought to the capital, told no worse than any guide about the main intricacies and secrets of Belarusian life. 🙂

The first feeling from the type of windows is amazing purity! And this is despite the fact that there is also an offseason here, that is, fresh grass does not close the winter trash. There is just nothing to close. In contrast with Russian tracks - it looks amazing!

We got very comfortable to Minsk, and I went to get acquainted with the hostess of my rented apartment. A little more about renting housing and cars, as well as about movement on public transport and taxi, I will tell at the end of this article.

I spent the first 4 days in Minsk: 2 of them were mainly devoted to training, and the rest of the time I just walked around the city. In the apartment came in the evening, only to spend the night. So much I wanted to see that herself said to herself: "I will stay at home."

And now we go to the sights. Additionally, they are all listed on the map at the bottom of this article, it will be easier for it to establish what and where it is and how easier to get to each sighting.

And I will start my review about traveling from traveling.

Walking in the city

Unlock Belarus

Perhaps it will be more logical to start with the main square of the city - Independence Square (or, as it is ridiculous, in Belarusian, inequishment). What a beauty around!

For all many years of history, the area has changed its name 14 times. Until 1991, she was, like all the central city squares, Lenin Square. Now, decorated with fountains, it attracts the attention of tourists with its unique beauty. And the locals love to stroll here in the evening when the backlight is turned on, and the area is illuminated by the delightful light.

Under Earth, a huge shopping center with parking has been rebuilt here. Independence Square gives rise to almost through the entire city of independence prospectus. Here is the main building of the country - the Government House.

The first Belarusian skyscraper is so proudly called Minsk region this building. Before entering the entrance is still a seventer monument V.I. Lenin. During the war years, the monument was destroyed, but after the capitulation of the Germans quickly restored. And the building itself, like a nearby Catholic church of Saints Simon and Elena, has become one of the few buildings of the war years have survived without special destruction.

Catholic temple with sad story

Nearby there is a church of Saints Simeon and Elena, the whole built of red bricks.

In memory of two, early childhood children, they were built on their money, unfulfilled parents - Edward and Olympia Viozylovichi. Once Elena saw this beautiful building in a dream, and I painted it in the morning. And now it is rightfully considered one of the decorations of the Belarusian capital.

If you are near, be sure to go inside. It is very beautiful and a little mysterious here. Beautiful sculptures, bronze details of the temple, superbly painted walls and vaults, delicious stained glass windows on the windows - all this creates a solemn atmosphere. And combined with the music of the body, one of the oldest in Europe is just a stunning impression.

In the temple there is one of the seven copies of the Turin District. Collected extensive library of old books. It also rests the ashes of the founder of the church - Edward Viozylovich. Right at the entrance has a statue where Archangel Mikhail is the saint patron of Belarus - pierces his sword snake of darkness with his sword.

Immediately, a very night, another monument "Bell Nagasaki", it is established in memory of those killed in atomic catastrophes. Very dramatic!

Belarusian Bastille

Now it is provided for the death penalty for criminals - execution. Unusually enough: shooting in the center of the megapolis ... although! "Crosses" in St. Petersburg, Lubyanka with its basements in the center of Moscow ...

Fertile place

Next, your attention undoubtedly attracts whiteland.

This majestic building was originally built as a Catholic church. But over time, after a small repair, it became Orthodox. In addition to other Orthodox shrines in the cathedral, the icon of the Mother of God is kept, called Minsk.

I wrote her once the holy Apostle Luka. Many events occurred in the life of the icons, in many churches she visited. According to the legend, the Swisloch sailed in Minsk and was placed, not immediately, in the holy of the Cathedral. And now this miraculous image helps everyone who applied to him for help in difficult life situations.

And so I went to the embankment of the juggling (this will sound the word "beauty" of Belarusian) Svislodi! How beautiful here!

The birds sing, the sun shines, forcing the water surface to overflow with all the colors of the rainbow. Fly and shout seagulls, swim clarops not far from the shore. If there is a desire and a bun in a handbag, then you can feed them, then they will boil closer.

Beautiful weather and, that is immediately very noticeable, around the perfect cleanliness and order! And not only here! It is immediately clear that the wipers conscientiously perform their work, and Minsk resident, of course, care about the purity of their hometown. Well done!

Bright memory heroes!

A small curly bridge leads to an artificial island located near the shore. Recently, a monument to the soldiers who died on the battlefields has recently been opened. At first, this monument was conceived as a tribute to the memory of those who died in Afghanistan.

But, unfortunately, there were still many terrible events in the world where the Belarusian warriors participated. This monument is dedicated to all of them.

A figurine of a little crying angel, who cares about those who died who could not return to their beloved and loving wife, mother or bride were very touchingly.

Trinity suburb - history and legends

Directly opposite there is a very beautiful place in which the spirit of Old Minsk is still preserved. This is a Troitsky suburb - a historic center of the city.

There are a lot of benches here to sit, breathe fresh air and a large number of all sorts of cafes and restaurants. And here such beauty is hidden in the green of the trees.

"The girl with the owl" is considered a symbol of Trinity suburbs. The girl holds owls, and herself stands on a branch of a flowering fern, a lizard sitting near her legs. The whole sculpture is located on a big stone, and two more are two more. Total three is the place of Trinity.

According to the existing legend, it is at this place that every poet or the artist must make a choice for himself that it is more important to him:

• the girl who personifies the muse;
• owl - a symbol of wisdom;
• flowering branch - symbol of glory;
• lizard - a symbol of money supply.

And what choice would you make?

But still ... quite close to the first public toilet of the city. Yes, yes, sorry. I'll tell you what he attracts special attention. According to the existing legend, in 1912, a very famous architect SENKEVICH built the palace with a notable graph. But he refused to pay, and did not pay a penny for the work.

Then the angry architect decided to take revenge on the greedy count and built a public toilet in the Alexander Square. Accurate reduced copy of the same lock. Now in this small house sell tickets to the Yankee Kupala theater. But from 1912 to 2012 - exactly a hundred years - it was used according to his initial destination.

Pride of contemporaries - Belarusian "Diamond Knowledge"

Of course, I really wanted to look at the famous National Library of Belarus. I was very interested in this unusual structure.

Indeed, in the form of the library building resembles a grazing diamond. "Diamond Knowledge", as they also call her Belarusians, contains 9 million book volumes. This unique building is equipped with the newest technologies.

For children there is a games room, and for adults - a special stay for recreation, there are simulatory rooms, a cafe and a restaurant.

At an altitude of 73 meters, an observation deck is equipped, from where you can admire the beautiful views of Minsk.

In the evening, the backlight turns on, and the building facade turns into a huge size of a multi-colored screen. The spectacle is awesome!

Day 5. On the way to Brest

My study is completed, and the main attractions of Minsk have been studied. Now you can safely go for new adventures! The issue of car rental was decided on the eve of very well, and she expects me under the windows of my rented apartment.

Details about renting housing, cars and other necessary things, I will tell at the end of the article.

In the morning, gathering things, throwing a farewell look at the awakening Minsk

and resolved with the hostess, I leave Minsk on a rented car towards Brest. The main purpose of today is the Belovezhskaya forest, which was heard about so much over the years in the Soviet Union.

And just now, my old dream stroll through the reserve forest, look at the living bison begins to come true. I described your route more.

In total, this day passed 447 kilometers. And here is the attractions in which you managed to look along the road.

Nesvizh - Vosta Radzivil

Nesvizh Castle

Moving along an excellent road road, turning to Nesvizh, about which a lot of reviews were read.

And so, overcoming 120 km from Minsk, I am in place. In the city I am celebrated beautiful swans and hours of hours at the city tower in the city center. Every 15 minutes they remind the past time.

Nesvizh's small town is known for a very long time. But it became especially quickly developed when I began to belong to Jan Radziwille, a representative of the majestic, influential and very rich kind of Grand Principality of Lithuania.

For centuries, Radzyvilles owned extensive lands, they belonged to the town and the city. Kings without a crown - so called their compatriots.

Indeed, Radziwilles occupied the highest state and military positions. The opinion of representatives of this clan influenced the fate of the whole state. And their indispensable wealth could be envied the king himself.

4 Park surrounds Nesvizhsky Lock Radziwilles. And each has its own history, its own, in a special, decorated area, its monuments, original sculptures, their legends.

So I walked over these parks.

Very nice, young leaflets are blooming on trees, birds sing.

But cold…

Brest Fortress - Citadel Capture

On June 22, 1941, the warriors of the Brest Fortress were the first to hit the fascists' shelling and more than a month in complete environment, without food and water, without drugs and ammunition held defense, not launching Nazis further.

After the war, the fortress was not restored completely. For the eternal reminder to the descendants about the feat of the defenders of the Motherland, a whole memorial complex was created here, and the eternal flame is not fading.

On November 3-4, 2016, the memorial complex noted memorable dates. The defense museum turned 60 years old! And the GU Memorial Complex "Brest Fortress-Hero! - 45!

Brest - City of Unusual Museums

And in the reserve it grows about 900 species of plants, including rare and endangered species. The age of some trees exceeds 500 years. 227 species of birds please visit visitors with their beauty and overflow singing.

But the largest Belovezhsk pride is the bison living here.

Today here is the largest population of these forest gigids in Europe. And me, among other things, surprised fantastically clean air in the forest. Such an amount of oxygen I did not meet anywhere else! Just a fairy tale!

Belorussian Santa Claus lives here

By the way, there is a fairy tale here too! You want - believe, and better - check, and here, in Belovezhskaya Pushcha, in his wonderful residence lives and with pleasure takes the numerous guests of Santa Claus with his assistants.

The estate of a good wizard includes the home of the host itself with the workshops, where gifts are manufactured; The house where the Snow Maiden lives; Magic Well, who fulfills wishes; Windmill, grinding all bad, sculptural figures of heroes of favorite fairy tales and much more.

At any time of the year, guests are always waiting for guests. Earlier here more than 120 years grew by unmatched fir. Its height accounted for 40 meters. Unfortunately, several years ago she died. But at her place was planted a new young beauty. Children and adults with pleasure lead around her dances.

In the residence of Santa Claus, you can participate in fun games and contests, taste the nice subsanis and other national dishes.

You will not be allowed to miss! So, if you are in these parts, be sure to come! Santa Claus lives approximately 10 km from the main entrance to the protected forest!

Entry of the Belarusian Family in the Museum of Pereric Village

Museum of national life and old technologies - another interesting place that I managed to visit. It is located in the village of Peres. This museum complex was created on the basis of the old estate of the 19th century, which was restored in the spirit of the time and filled with things, without any rural family could not do.

Every corner of the house used to have its purpose. Icons were attended in the house - the image of the Savior and the image of the Virgin. Each family member had their own rights and obligations. Men and women have their own crafts. For example, in the museum your attention is attracted to the ancient machine for incentive weaving. This art is currently listed in the list of intangible cultural heritage of Belarus.

And here you will be treated with the most real moonshine. This is one of the few places in Belarus, where moonshine is officially allowed, and there is a license for the moonshine apparatus installed here.

That's all this, about the traditions and customs of our ancestors you will learn.

Day 8. Belovezhskaya Pushcha-Kosovo-Ruzany-Synekovichi-Zhirovichi-Baranovichi

So the term of my departure from an amazing nature reserve was approached. Belovezhskaya Pushcha did not disappoint, but, on the contrary, - even more fascinated me. And now I want to return there with even greater desire.

Well, my path now lies towards Minsk. But on the way, Belarus has prepared many other attractions for me. These are amazing and Orthodox shrines. In one day, it is difficult to do everything, so I plan my way to the capital stretch for 2 days.

For this day from Belovezhskaya Foreign to the place of my overnight stay in Baranovichi, I drove 389 km.

Kosovsky Palace "Knight's Gree"

And in Cosovo, there is a castle that once owned by Magnam Puslovsky. For its luxury interior decoration and external greatness, he was called "Knight's Greeu."

The palace possessed some features that made him unique and unique. For example, in the parade hall, the floor was glass. And it was possible to see how fish were floating under it. Under the floor was a huge aquarium.

Lion lived in the castle. At night, the owners produced him, and he moved freely throughout the palace.

In the entire history of the existence, the castle was destroyed several times and restored. He received very strong damage in a multi-day fire during the Great Patriotic War. Now he is on reconstruction, which is planned to be completed in 2018. But now!

Right on the contrary, on the shore of the lake is the estate of Tadeusch Kostyshko - the national hero of the four countries, in which he visited Belarus, Poland, Lithuania and the United States, and another honorary citizen of France. Now it would be called a professional revolutionary. The house in which he was born and lived for some time, made the hero museum.

This is a two-storey house of 8 rooms. At the house there is a huge stone with a memorable plate in honor of Tadeusch Kostyushko. The museum holds things found during the excavations at this place, once belonging to the Kostyusko family.

Collection of brands dedicated to Tade., a copy of his sabers and other values. Here you can buy souvenirs for memory, to participate in various events and ... get married. Yes, now you can officially register marriage.

By the way, the place is just wonderful! Welcome to visit.

Rujans and his castle-fortress

But the town of Rujans, known from the 15th century. In 1598 he was bought by the famous political figure, the creator of the Statute - the Code of the Laws of the Grand Duchy of Lithuanian - Lev Sapega. He built a grand palace here, which combined the elements of the fortress and a luxurious castle.

In huge basements of the palace, the entire treasury was kept incl, weapons arsenal, states of state, food reserves and barrels.

Many times the castle was rebuilt and changed the owners. At one time, the pride of the palace was the presence of the theater in its walls. Theatrical troupe consisted of 60 actors and 40 musicians. Theater setting was famous throughout Europe. In the palace often received noble guests: kings, ambassadors of distant countries and other celebrities. According to the legend, there was an underground stroke, which joined the Rujans Castle and Kosovsky.

Zhirovich monastery

For more than 500 years there is a holy Assumption male monastery in wiring. And his story began with a small icon on the stone, which is currently one of the most revered in the world of Orthodoxy.

According to the legend, once a long time, the shepherds saw an unusual radiance in the crown of trees. It was a small image of the Mother of God, which shepherds attributed the owner of the Earth. A little later, a temple was built on this place. So the history of the monastery began.

Today, this is a whole architectural complex, famous not only in Belarus, but also far beyond. Never, for all his many years of history, the temple did not cover its doors for pilgrims.

Now the complex unites 2 churches, the bell tower, the spiritual academy and the seminaries and other adjacent to them. A pilgrim's house was also built, where people who came to pray the miraculous icon will be able to rest and spend the night if necessary.

Well, my today's bedroom is scheduled in Borovichi, where I booked an apartment. Tomorrow with new forces will continue your route.

Day 9. Moorish castle - history and modernity

In the Grodno region of Belarus towers, built in the 16th century, a worldly castle.

Construction began a rich landowner Yuri Ilinich. But after his death, 4 of his son also lived for a long time. One poisoned, the other died of the disease - so the genus genus Ilyinich. And the castle began to own Radziwilles. But they, after some time, sold it. The last owner of the castle died in 1938, and since then he was in a state of failure.

A whole loop of fantastic legends and terrible stories is still enveloped by a beautiful castle. This is a legend of a stone, similar to the head of the Baran, who for some kind of laws of magic is designed to guard the castle and its owners; The story of a cut down garden and cruel violence for it; Stories about ghosts, yes, there are more of them here; And of course about the inconspicuous treasures hidden somewhere here. Here is such a mysterious place in Belarus.

Duduki - is it from the word "duties"?

In the afternoon, I parted with the car, which took the rent and which for the whole week I was faithful to the assistant. Therefore, on the next excursion, I go as part of the tourist group.

While our bus is traveling to the museum complex, the guide tells about Minsk and other attractions of Belarus. How interesting to listen to him now, when in many objects I just visited personally, and the impressions are still so fresh! I am pleased to plunge into your memories of an independent trip.

40 km from Minsk, in Pukhovichsky district there is a museum complex "Dudutka". Here you can get acquainted with the crafts of our ancestors, try dishes by antique recipes, ride horses and even fly by plane.

So much here everything is presented that in 2 hours, allotted by the guide, it is impossible to do everything! Read the details about how you can spend the time at.

That ended the time I could devote a trip to Belarus. It's time to return home. A little sorry, I would like to stay here for a few days - so much interesting could be seen! But nothing prevents me from come here again, and maybe not one.

What kind of passport is needed

Do I need a passport for a trip to Belarus? This is the first question that, for sure, is asked by each who first plans to visit Belarus.

Very good news is that for Russians, a passport for the entrance to Belarus is not needed. Russian enough. The visa when crossing the border is also not needed, even the stamp in the passport is not put.

The only important point. If you make up tickets, for example, by plane, and specify the data of the foreign document, then in this case, when landing, it will be necessary to present it. If the data is indicated from the Russian passport, then the other documents certifying the individuals are not required for Russian citizens.

And for the citizens of other countries, a visa can be obtained directly at the National Airport of Minsk, pre-sending their documents here. But, of course, all these questions better clarify in advance.

Where and how to rent accommodation in Belarus

It turned out that it was very simple to rent an apartment in Minsk. Through you can book a room in numerous hotels, and you can choose accommodation in any area of \u200b\u200bthe city. By the way, it turns out much cheaper than the hotel room. And if you travel not alone, but in the company, then the benefit is very significant.

I removed a very cozy apartment in Minsk near the subway.

From here it was possible to get to anywhere in the city, and walk to the center for 20 minutes. Hotels in the area cost much more expensive.

But, returning back to Minsk from your car travel, I booked the hotel "". He was located far from the center, but its location and value of me, quite, arranged, since I could easily move on a rented car.

In other cities of Belarus, you can also rent housing, but here the choice will be smaller. Here is my apartment in the city of Baranovichi.

I liked its location: not far from the highway. It was very convenient to spend the night and in the morning to go on the road.

Details about an amazing hotel complex on the territory of Belovezhskaya Forest, I wrote in detail in.

Transport in Minsk

Transport connection in the capital of Belarus is perfectly established. Buses and trolley buses, numerous minibuses walk around the city. There is also a long-distance message. But I did not have "communication" with this type of transport.

I enjoyed the subway with pleasure, with which it was easiest to get to any desired city point.

For a tourist who fell into the Belarusian subway for the first time, it is very simple to navigate: there are only 2 branches: red and blue. All stations are clearly called, although they are written in the local language.

It is also very convenient to use a taxi. They work on the meter, and if you go for a short distance, then 1 trip is obtained around the city within 200-300 Russian rubles.

Also, I ordered a reverse transfer to the airport. In this case, a taxis cost me 390,000 Belarusian rubles. (this is 1320 Russian rubles or $ 20)

You can get to the Minsk National Airport and you can be more fastened on the train (just 25,000 Belarusian rubles). This is reported by an advertising poster.

In this case, you arrive from the airport to the Minsk railway station, from where you can get to the right place in the city with public transport. The big minus is that these trains go infrequently.

Car rental in Minsk

Of course, it is most convenient to travel by car, and in Minsk you can easily rent a car for any convenient time. After studying the prices in different rolling offices, I stopped at the firm with an optimistic title: "Maya bee".

Why car rental is called so unusual, it turned out later when I signed the lease agreement. It turned out that this office was registered on the IP bee of Denis Viktorovich. These are positive surnames in Belarus. 🙂

To get the car, it is enough to have a driver's license, make a copy of the Russian passport, sign a contract! Yes, and not forget, of course, pay! But not only the amount specified in the contract. An further deposit, which in my case amounted to 10,000 Russian rubles (at the end of the lease, it was returned).

And here are the keys to Silver Peugeot-206 in my hands.

When renting the car, it did not cost without surprises: the condition - for a day, pass no more than 350 km. The first time I hear so! Well, okay, this, in general, satisfied. For the week I do not drive so much. After all, the biggest distances are from Minsk to Brest and back, all other attractions can be viewed along the way, only unlikely to deviate from the main route.

If, as a result, it would not be possible to put in these limits, it would have to pay extra $ 10 for every extra 350 km per day.

The value of the 95th gasoline in the country, on average, amounted to 40 Russian rubles per 1 liter (0.6 $).

There were also unexpected news about the lease conditions that did not come across earlier when booking a car abroad.

It turns out that the car must be returned perfectly clean or have to pay $ 25 to the rental cost. Fortunately, near the hotel in which I lived last days was car wash. And for $ 5 there, the car perfectly was laundered. 🙂

How much is the rest (results and prices)

This time, according to my subjective sensations, the final cost of the trip was quite high. No, prices in Belarus, quite, acceptable, and in some places even below the European and even more Russian. Just this time I traveled alone, so all costs were exclusively at my expense.

After all, for example, accommodation and renting a car are almost the same: that for one that for two people. And expenses in the 2nd case are easily divided by half.

That's what I got for 10 days of stay in Belarus (I bring prices in Russian rubles):

Accommodation:

1. Apartment in Minsk for 4 nights 6 560 rub (1640 r. For 1 night);
2. For 3 nights 3 770 rubles. (1260 r. For 1 night);
3. Apartment in Baranovichi for 1 night 1 300 rubles;
4. For 2 nights 3 100 rubles (1 550 r. for 1 night).

In Belarus, in any city there is a huge number of a wide variety of accommodation options. You can easily rent an apartment or room on the service, or through the hotel.

Transport:

1. Avia-Minsk-Moscow tickets - 8,980 rubles;
2. Rent a car for 6 days 12 900 rubles (2 150 r. For 1 day);
3. Gasoline 3 700 rubles.

The length of my route by car was (total mileage) 1400 km, 90 liters of gasoline were spent.

Excursion program:

1. Entrance tickets to all attractions I cost 1620 rubles.
2. Ordered excursions, including audiogides - 4320 rubles.

And here's the results:

Money came and gone, they are no longer remembered now. But the impressions of the perfect time remained! And after all, this is the most important thing, why people seek travel! 🙂

The map below shows all the sights of Belarus, where I managed to visit. More about each of them can be viewed.

Belarus is a very attractive place of recreation and tourism for Russians. This is the opportunity to communicate in your native language, and a wonderful mild climate with unique nature, and architecture with its unforgettable castles, and shopping on pleasing prices.

Trips to the countries of the former CIS are extremely popular among Russian citizens. When crossing the borders of these states, there are a lot of differences, so many questions arise, with what documents go to one or another country. Against this background, Belarus with its visa-free regime is beneficial.

With this country, Russia was concluded by the Union Treaty in 1997. According to his regulations, there is no border control. Later transport control was also abolished. In this republic you can drive in the internal Russian documents.

The simplest in terms of paperwork, and therefore is popular, traveling to Belarus by train.

It is also considered the most budget, since gasoline is currently more expensive in Belarus. If you have to make additional documents on the car when traveling by car, and the accumulation of cars on the border causes a traffic jam and a time loss, then the train is truly trouble-free.

In Belarus and in 2020, you can go without a visa. On the border, they require predicted both the general Russian and foreign passport. No marks in passports at the entrance to the country are not affixed.

When crossing Belarus in order to visit other countries, a transit visa is not required. You can freely be on its territory. You will need to have permission to enter another country.

During a trip by train, there is no special stop at the border in order to verify passports and inspection. Documents are checked when landing for a train along with tickets.
