Americans First Time in Minsk, Belarus - Solo Travel

I've always been curious to visit Minsk, but never went. But this time I was going to be nearby and started to do research on how to visit. I found out I had to fly into and out of Belarus and could only stay a maximum of 30 days. I couldn't cross the border by land, so the only way was to fly.
So I decided to stay 4 nights and squeeze it in between Odessa, Ukraine and Tallinn, Estonia. I rented an apartment on Airbnb, great location downtown, not too pricey, a perfect place to be able to see the city easily.
During my time there I met some locals and some travelers, ate some great food and desserts, walked around the city many times, and took 2 free walking tours with Free Walking Tours Minsk.
Overall it was a fun time and I really enjoyed the city, Minsk is definitely a place I would return to someday.

Минск is beautiful in the summer and comfortable in general

Nice, I wish I could be back there again this summer, but not sure when it will be safe to travel again.

Thanks for watching!!!

[@HereBeBarr]

Lol, i like the plastic cups.

[@ToddHata]

That old soda machine is pretty interesting, they used to have 1 glass cup everyone would share.

[@anatolfrombelarus7940]

​@@ToddHata this is exactly how they drank soda from machines in my childhood in the 80s. 1 glass - drank, meaning water (there was a special device) and then passed the glass in turn. And nobody stole a glass :)
Thanks for the video, but very little timekeeping, Minsk deserves much more :)
