During the last few years Belarus recognized by many in the world only through the prism of the news reports, telling mainly about the President of the Republic Aleksandr Lukashenko. Now, few people recognize Belarus separately from the political context. At the same time it is rather difficult for Western tourists to find information about Belarusian culture, history and just the objective realities.
Belarus have always played an important role in the life of Europe, as a key area at the intersection of East and West. And today, this country is still one of the main corridors сonnecting Europe and Russia.
Though having excellent opportunities for the development of incoming business and entertainment tourism, Belarus has not realized this potential. Governmental policy in the field of tourism seems to seek the ways to attract foreigners to the country, but in fact it is quite contrary. The high prices in hotels, almost no private hotels in major cities, negligible (compared to neighboring Kiev and Moscow) number of restaurants and cafes in the capital of Belarus, Minsk and in regional centers - all this suggests that tourism in Belarus is still far from the level of neighboring Poland, Lithuania and Latvia.
On the whole, Belarus is a quiet corner of Europe, which is sometimes compared with a «sleepy kingdom». The life here is running slowly and measured. And many people like it. However, the «sleepy kingdom» should also have its own specific features. And they are. And some of them are very unusual and amazing for an unprepared foreigner.
So, for those who are going to visit Belarus, in the section The purpose of the tour to Belarus, we will try to tell you about some of the features of recreation and traveling to this country. How to get a visa, where is the best place to buy tickets, how much does it cost to drive a taxi - in general, anything that might be interesting to the modern tourist is listed here.
