Another Minsk famoul site is
Trinity Suburb settled down on the right coast of the River Svisloch. Walking down the small paved streets
you can feel yourself in ancient times, enjoying multi-colored houses and tiny shops and caves. Near the Trinity suburb there
is a pride of Minsk - the Big Opera and Ballet Theatre. All
visitors coming to the capital, by all means visit this theatre which is glorified for the delightful ballet far outside the
country. Close to the theatre there is one more place beloved by the citizens – the big and marvelous park which is
adjoined to the river Svisloch from two sides. This place of rest, pedestrian and water walks on boats and catamarans, picnics
and various holidays.
Talking about Minsk we can not but mention its main artery – Nezavisimosti
Avenue. It's the long string, which is going through almost all city center, rarely being cut
by the big and modern squares. The avenue is a favorite place of youth and lovers. It's an original business and cultural
vein of the city, with many shops, offices, restaurants, theatres and concert halls,
exhibitions & galleries
Belarus is also know for its masterpieces of architecture.
We will be glad to arrange your tour to such world-famous places as the
Mir castle
(15-16th century monument) staggers imagination by its beauty, grandeur, and artistic elegance. The red-brick castle is currently
being restored, but one tower and the courtyard are open to visitors.
The small town of Nesvizh founded in the 13th century is home to the 16th century
Renaissance Radziville family castle, the former residence of the ancient Belarusian-Lithuanian family of Prince Radziville.
Close to Nesvizh castle is a magnificent Catholic church (16th century, architect Bernardoni) beautifully painted on the inside.
