The capital of Belarus! πŸ‘Š Minsk is a big city, and its landmarks are spread pretty far apart from one another, so get ready for some serious walking and a bit of public transport. πŸš—πŸšΆβ€β™‚οΈ

The first thing that struck me was how clean everything is! πŸ‘Œ Even in the crowded city center, even in the smaller neighborhoods, even on roads out in the middle of nowhere – it's all spotless. πŸ™†β€β™‚οΈ

Minsk has sweeping boulevards, massive squares, and countless monuments. The Great Patriotic War Museum and the National Library alone can easily eat up a whole day. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ A tip from me: don't try to cram everything into one afternoon – the distances here show no mercy.

Belarus definitely intrigued me – it's a fairly closed-off and isolated country within Europe. And as always, the same trip can feel completely different depending on who's experiencing it. πŸ˜‰
