I visited Minsk with a buddy for 3 weeks a couple of years ago. It was my first time out of the United States. It was amazing! The culture is awesome and most of the young Belarusians are learning English so they liked to practice with native English speakers. The city is EXTREMELY clean and the public transportation is fantastic. Best of all for tourist is how unbelievably cheap everything is (except for electronics and imported stuff).

With regard to wages, you also have to keep in mind that the the purchasing power parity adjustment is about 30% for Belarus, meaning that the exchange rate conversion still leaves a price differential of 30 percent vis a vis the price of goods in the US. So an average monthly wage of $450 is more like $1500 in the US, or close to $18K per year. Which is not bad considering universal healthcare and high public subsidies for things like public transportation. Not a place to be a millionaire, but where you can live comfortably. Which explains how it is among the top 10 countries for equitable income distribution. Just some food for thought.

I visited Minsk last December. Everything this video asserts is true, with these qualifiers. English is rare except in establishments that cater to westerners, so be prepared. The people are very reserved - not unfriendly, but even so, you may feel yourself being studied a bit when they realize you are a westerner. They are not used to tourists. Also, do not expect western style service in retail stores. Again, the staff is not rude, but they are not going to trip over themselves to offer their assistance. This may be a holdover from Soviet times. On that note, the city has a definite Soviet feel to it. This can be an attraction in itself, if you want to get a feel for what Soviet life was like. I've been to Moscow but Minsk felt more Soviet. As for the absence of western franchises and chain stores, that is a huge plus. One of the joys of travelling to a foreign country is escaping that sh*t. Finally, the drive or cab ride to Nesvizh and Mir "castles" is definitely worth it. Oh yes... the women are gorgeous (not so much the men. Sorry ladies). A final word of advise: do not ever make light of the Nazis or Second World War in Belarus. Between 25% and 30% of the country's people were killed during the German occupation, and almost all of their villages, towns and cities were completely destroyed.

In addition, everything is state-based, so one decision, you live here, tomorrow, if need to, they will transfer you to another apartment block. Do you know what life is like in such a home?

I`ve lived here in Minsk for over three years, and I really like it. I find the people to be friendly, helpful and they generally live and let live. It`s pretty safe and there is enough to do, especially if you want to see gorgeous, green countryside. Trains and buses throughout the country are inexpensive, and the food has brought me some extra kilos. No reason to leave anytime soon. I`m from southern California, originally. What do I miss? Mexican and Chinese restaurants and groceries. Oh, one more thing: to your question as to why people come to Minsk as tourists. Many, in fact most, tourists are Russians seeking a cheap, safe and beautiful alternative to the Crimean Peninsula and Ukraine as a destination. SInce they feel unwelcome there, and nobody bothers them here, they come and enjoy the casinos (illegal in Russia), shopping and restaurants, but mostly the sheer openness of the wide boulevards with buildings set back away from the streets, wide sidewalks and trees. The net effect is that sounds don`t vibrate in the streets and sunlight or daylight brighten the city more. Entrepreneurs open new, unique shops and bars and it feels interesting.

How they have smartened up the walkways along the river and the roads which all were full of potholes and roadworks back in 1997. The Opera was US$2 back then and was a brilliant performance. The Metro was flat rate any station of 2000 Belorussian Rubles or 11 cents New Zealand (where I am from) currency.

Sorry guys, your service is below the worst. There is an only place you can have a coffee or breakfast at 8 or 9 am, and it's McDonald's. All of the city bars and restaurants wake up by noon only. You want to see more tourists? You need to make their stay worry free.

I knew a bit about Minsk though but your video gave me a pretty much clear view. I had a chance to live in Moscow in the end of 90s. There I heard a lot about Minsk. I had two friends from Minsk in my class in my university. They were the best amazing friends I ever met until today. Still searching for them. Thanks a lot.

I love living here. Been here over 4 years now, and I`m glad I came here. It is quiet, calm, safe and extraordinarily clean and green. You don`t realize it has an authoritarian government generally, unless you try to protest without a permit. I`ve never felt worried about it. People are generally friendly and nobody looks at me twice unless I am in a regional city, where I stick out as an unusual visiting foreigner. The food is really good, and there is a growing number of restaurants featuring Asian foods, fast food, fine dining, and fast casual, with several US-based chains. The weather is not at all extreme, and this year`s winter is particularly mild. For the average worker, life is challenging from payday to payday, especially for retirees. I`ve used both private and public health care, and found both good. No plans to move soon. BTW, I`m a US ex-pat.

There those bazaars where people shop for cheap clothes, and from what I know there are plenty migrants from Asia who work there. Belarusians are very peaceful and welcome anyone who come in piece🤗
