Winter holidays in Belarus 2019-2020

We travel in Belarus in winter – what interesting about the country in the cold season?

A very brave decision is to go to Belarus in winter. The climate in our country is not mild; there may be frosts and sharp fluctuations in temperature. However, in the cold time of the year Belarus looks magical. Snow, light garlands, ice rinks create an atmosphere of comfort and warmth. In order not to wander through the cold streets in vain, we have collected for you 10 the best places in Belarus, which are definitely worth a visit during the winter holidays.

Center of Minsk

In the heart of Minsk will definitely be something to surprise! By the New Year holidays the city is transformed: it becomes bright and colorful. The Christmas atmosphere is complemented with the festive illumination, which is throughout the center. Every year the city authorities come up with more and more decorations of the capital. Near the Palace of the Republic, a huge Christmas ball took a place of honor. It looks great!

At the end of 2018, the main Christmas tree was a very unusual design on October square. The artificial Christmas tree was decorated with three thousand balls of various sizes. For festive illumination, for the first time it was used the pixel technology, thanks to which a variety of images were demonstrated.

Unusually the city is decorated near the Minsk Town Hall. 2019 celebrated with a “festive portal”: an unusual led arch. Visit the site at the Minsk Sports Palace, last year the Christmas tree was decorated in the form of the led strip wrapped around a cone. The daisy chain descending from the top of the tree impressed a lot of people. By the way, Christmas decorations are not only in the center of Minsk. Dormitory suburbs are also decorated and bright Christmas trees “grow” there too.

This year Christmas decorations will be definitely no worse! The holidays in Belarus are approached with all responsibility – so Minsk will meet you with colorful winter decoration.
