Holiday rentals in Minsk, Belarus

Minsk is pretty well known in Belarus as the party capital, and its especially popular for its many imaginative pubs and bars. One of the trendiest of all is HookahPlace Yakuba Kolasa, which faces fierce competition from Nuahule Krasnaya and Dictator Bar, so those will make good starting points for the time-honoured old pub crawl. If you want something more elaborate, you can choose from a number of restaurant-nightclubs. The hottest ones include MADMEN, TNT Rock Club and Banki-Butylki. If you prefer live music while you’re having a few drinks and a meal, pop into Kurilka Bar, and if you want to try your hand at live performance yourself, head to Karaoke Bar Shum. For a bar where you can spend the night playing pool or any number of arcade machines, there’s CrossBar. Serious clubbers should head to MaxShow, which has a nightly rotation of local favourite DJs. Holiday rentals in Minsk that will put you close to these areas include Apartments na Lenina, Centr VIPkvartira by 7, Minsksuite and Apartament on Nezavisimosti.

Minsk holiday rentals also make an excellent idea if you’re travelling as a family with children. They are less fuss than having to book into a busy commercial hotel, and you’ll easily be able to find ones that are close to all that the city has to offer to keep your kids entertained. You can go for walks and picnics, or kick a ball around in one of the city’s many parks, like Victory Park and Loshitskiy Park. The Central Botanical Garden of the National Academy of Sciences Belarus has exhibits and interactive attractions for adults and kids alike, and Svislach River Embankment is another wonderful natural space in the city. You can also take the children to enjoy the immersive space exploration experiences at Belarus Aerospace Museum. In warm weather head to Aquapark Lebyazhiy for its fun water slides and other water features. Then there’s Las Legas Children’s Museum and Minsk Dolphinarium Nemo, which the kids will absolutely love. Roomy family holiday rentals that you can book include Centr Kvartir 25, Apartment on Repina 4, an Guest House on Victory Square.

One of the biggest advantages of staying in a holiday rental rather than a larger hotel-type establishment is that you’ll have more freedom to come and go – in the sense that you won’t have to conform to opening and closing times or set meal times. A self-catering apartment or guest house will allow you to completely set your own schedule, taking your meals as and when you feel like it and enjoying a holiday in Belarus with all the comforts of home in the UK. You’ll easily be able to book one through momondo that puts you close to fresh produce markets like Kamaroŭski Rynak. There are also some very large malls in the city, like Zamok Mall and Dana Mall.
