About
Minsk
Minsk
is the capital of the Republic of Belarus. Not only
can one study here, but also become more acquainted
with a thousand year history of the city and the
culture of Belarus. In Minsk there are many parks,
squares, museums, galleries, concert halls and
theaters. The most famous theater is the National
Academic Bolshoi Theater of Opera and Ballet, which
holds the second highest rating after the famous
Moscow Bolshoi Theater among the Countries of the
former USSR.
There
are a number of memorials and tourist attractions
not far from Minsk, which also can be visited within
a short period of time. Tourist excursions also
allow one to become acquainted with other cities of
Belarus, each of which has its own notable sights.
The "drawing card" of Vitebsk, the
birthplace of Marc Shagal, is his home which is a
museum. Brest's "drawing card" is the
memorial complex "Brest Fortress of Heroes".
Gomel is famous for its palace and park complex of
the 18th ―19th
centuries, etc.
Minsk
is one of the cleanest and greenest cities of Europe.
The current population of the capital is 2 million
inhabitants, but a well-developed system of public

quickly get to any point of the city.
