Things to Do in Belarus: Local Guide
Europe's last Soviet-era state preserves Minsk's grand Stalinist boulevards, the Mir and Nesvizh UNESCO castle complexes, and the primeval Belovezhskaya Pushcha forest where European bison roam freely. Belarus offers an unexpectedly rich and uncrowded eastern European cultural experience for visitors arriving with few preconceptions.

Local tip: The Belovezhskaya Pushcha National Park is best explored with a park guide — the bison herds are most reliably spotted near the supplemental feeding areas in winter mornings, and the guides know the specific forest paths where encounters are most likely.
