Intro

Backpacking or travelling in Belarus?

  • Belarus, or Belarus as the locals call it, is known for its endless forests, hidden castles and a journey back in time. Think Soviet architecture, villages where time seems to have stood still and beautiful landscapes. It is also quite affordable and quite off-the-beaten-track.
  • Spotting activities: explore Minsk; spot wild bison in Białowieża National Park; imagine yourself in a fairy tale in Mir Castle; visit Njasvizj Castle; learn about Brest Fortress; relax at the Minsk Sea, an artificial lake.
  • Spotting animals: European bison, elk, wolf, beaver, roe deer, eagle owl.
  • Spotting food: draniki, machanka, kletski, babka, salo, kolduny, kvass.

Living in Belarus?

  • There aren’t many expats in Belarus, but those who are are generally found in Minsk. It’s a beautiful city, life is affordable, but the country itself is very state-regulated and you may need to speak Russian.
  • Education: there are limited opportunities for international education.
  • Expat community: small.
  • Be aware: there is a language barrier and bureaucracy can be complex.
  • Health insurance: healthcare is often less good than in Western Europe and some expats go abroad for treatment. So make sure you have your own health insurance with good coverage.
