Belarus

Try something entirely different with a visit to historic and rural Belarus, where picturesque villages, wide plains and verdant forests await the more intrepid traveller.

Discover the capital city of Minsk, where relics of the Soviet period, Communist-era buildings and statues of Lenin are to be found amongst a burgeoning restaurant and café scene. Venture further afield to visit Polotsk, the oldest city in the country with its cathedral, fortress and convent, or go to Brest, which attained WWII Hero City status.
