General presentation
Minsk
Monumental avenues, reconstructed neighbourhoods and museums of memory make up a capital very marked by the twentieth century.
Museum of the Great Patriotic War, National Library of Belarus and Trinity Faubourg give the most telling landmarks of Minsk. Together, they form a destination where the big city, urban life and heritage meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than a single uniform decor.
