Minsk City Centre
Minsk City Centre dazzles with its striking blend of monumental Soviet grandeur and modern Belarusian culture. Independence Square's vast open spaces lead to the neoclassical National Opera and Ballet Theatre, where evening performances showcase world-class talent. History buffs can explore the Island of Tears memorial or wander through the tree-lined paths of Gorky Park, a perfect breather between museum visits. Getting around couldn't be easier with two metro stations and wide, pedestrian-friendly boulevards connecting major attractions.

If you want to see a show while you're in town, try and grab some tickets at National Opera and Ballet of Belarus in Minsk City Centre. If you enjoy the show and want to see another, Belarusian State Circus is just a short walk away.
The most beautiful and cleanest city I have ever visited. Not expensive, a lot of historical and cultural monuments, no crowding problems, above average nightlife. A 10/10 for the city of Minsk, would recommend to everyone, and I hope to return again

Minsk is a developed city like any other City in Europe, but it is under rated. But highly recommended.

One of the most beautiful cities I have ever visited in my entire life.
"Really great room for the price, large and spacious, clean and quality service. Unfortunately the air conditioning for the whole floor I was staying in wasn't working so it would get quite hot at night. "
"We had a wonderful stay in Buta Hotel. The room is very spacious and comfortable, and had everything we needed. The bathroom is very big and clean. We really loved the bathrobes that we got, they were very comfortable. The hotel is in a good central location, walkable from the most important sights. The staff is very friendly, and helped us with anything we needed. The wifi had some problems the first day, but the next days the problem was solved and the wifi worked excellent. The hotel has the most amazing chandelier in the lobby, the biggest chandelier we have ever seen. The see-through lift was also very amazing, with view on the chandelier. The whole hotel represents luxury. Would definitely stay here again next time in Minsk!"
"The hotel building did look monastic and looked great for it. Location close to historic places and a wide range of restaurants and bars to choose from. Room very comfortable, staff very helpful. Nice easy breakfast."
"The hotel is comfortable, very accommodating staff, the restaurant has a great selection of delicious food. The central location is great for getting out and exploring the city. "
"The place is wonderful...staff mainly young students very helpful...breakfast is a must because for a 2 star venue is rich fresh and clean.The only thing missing from the room is a small fridge...im here on a summer vacation and coming from a hot country i need my drinks cold. Overall a food value for money ."
