What this site is
belarussiantourism.com is an independent, personal travel guide to Belarus. It exists for one simple reason: to show people how much this country has to offer — the UNESCO castles, the last primeval forest in Europe, the ten thousand lakes, the food, and the famously warm welcome — and to make planning a trip there as easy as possible.
Everything here is free to use: the destination guides, the day-by-day itineraries, the currency converter, the packing generator and the My Trip planner.
What this site is not
- Not official. We are not affiliated with the government of Belarus, its tourism authorities, or any business mentioned on these pages. For official information we always link to the source — embassies, the MFA, national parks, museums.
- Not a booking service. We don't sell anything, take commissions, or process payments.
- Not a substitute for your own judgement. Entry rules, payments and travel guidance change. Verify time-sensitive details with official sources and your own government's travel advice before booking.
How the content is made
- Photography comes from Wikimedia Commons under Creative Commons licences, with attribution in the photo credits on the homepage footer.
- Practical figures (prices, journey times, temperatures) are indicative and rounded — treat them as planning guides, not quotes.
- Exchange rates and Minsk weather are fetched live from free public APIs when you open those pages.

The short version: an enthusiast-made guide with no ads, no cookies and no agenda beyond this — Belarus is wonderful, and more people should see it.
