The Republic of Belarus is gaining more and more popularity among Russian tourists. And this is not surprising. Where else in the post-Soviet space you will find such roads, reasonable prices, a friendly Russian-speaking population, and most importantly, such a careful attitude towards historical and architectural monuments. Belarus is a great choice for a weekend getaway with the whole family.
Instructions
Step 1
Of course, you won't be able to see the whole republic in two days. Therefore, outline a rough plan of action for yourself. It is convenient to travel around the country by car. First, there is a visa-free regime with Russia, and you do not have to stand at the border. Secondly, the quality of the roads there is at the European level with all the necessary services. Do not forget only about the speed limit and observance of traffic rules, with this there is strict. Plus, it's easier to get to the main attractions by car, and public transport is not very developed there.
Step 2
In two days you can visit the most famous Belarusian castles in the cities of Nesvizh and Mir. Nesvizh is a small cozy town, and it is better to stay in a hotel there. Moreover, there is a hotel located right on the territory of the Nesvizh Castle. This means that you, as guests, will have the opportunity to wander around the territory of the castle in the evening after closing and dine in real knightly chambers. The Nesvizh castle has been completely restored, its interior has been restored, the beautiful park around it has been preserved. One day to get to know the castle is enough for you.
Step 3
A few kilometers from Nesvizh is the village of Mir, which is famous for its knightly castle. Mir Castle is slightly inferior to Nesvizh in restoration, but only outwardly. Inside, all the interiors have been restored with meticulous precision, you can climb the walls of the castle and imagine how the battles were fought in the Middle Ages, or you can go down into the dungeon - into the torture chamber. Around the Mir Castle there is a garden with a lake, you can visit the tomb of the owners of the castle - the princes of Svyatopolk-Mirsky.
Step 4
Naturally, both castles are shrouded in many legends. The Nesvizh castle, which belonged to the Radziwill princes, is shrouded in secrets about hidden treasures and ghosts. Mir Castle has its own ghosts, but the pond around the castle is the most notorious - every year a man drowns there. So none of the local residents try not to walk near the castles late at night. However, tourists have nothing to fear except ghosts. The atmosphere in Belarus is very calm, and guests are only required to comply with the established rules.
Step 5
Such a small trip to the Belarusian castles will be well within two or three days along with the road. And most importantly, this vacation is very budgetary: gasoline costs, as in Russia, hotels for every budget, food is tasty and inexpensive, entrance tickets to museums are cheap and without queues and crowds of tourists.
