City Breaks in Minsk, Belarus with Regent Holidays

Minsk City Breaks - Belarus 2008

3 night city breaks in Minsk from £395 per person including flights.

Visiting Belarus is like stepping back into the Soviet Union. After total destruction during the Second World War, Minsk, the Belarussian capital, was reconstructed in the 1950s as a model Soviet city. Located on the banks of the Svisloch River, Minsk passed up its post-war chance to Europeanise like its Baltic neighbours, and visitors can judge for themselves how effective their neo-communist model was. Lenin still stands proudly in the main square. If the Soviet style becomes too much, you can seek
refuge in more classical attractions. Taste regional specialities such as Belarussian Borshch (beetroot soup served with sour cream) and Draniki (potato pancakes), washed down with Belovezhskaya Bitter, the local beer made with 100 different herbs.

Regent recommends... a visit to the Line of Stalin and the newly opened museum. The Line of Stalin was a fortification line built in 1933 to protect the western borders of the U.S.S.R. It stretched for more than 2000 km from the Barents to the Black sea and consisted of 21 fortified regions.
