The first point for a foreigner to visit is the capital of Belarus undoubtedly. History of Minsk began in 1067. A remote settlement in the beginning, it flourished as a commercial center in the medieval ages, suffered from numerous wars, invasions and demolitions. Each time it arose from ruins and continued developing its own way. Nowadays Minsk is a cosmopolitan city, home for about two million people. Unfortunately only a small ancient part of the city is left to give visitors a possibility to see how Minsk used to look hundreds of years ago. Take a stroll from the main square Nezalezhnasty along Skariny avenue, and you will get an overall idea about the city's modern architecture. If you turn to the left nearby the Circus, walk by the Svislotch river' bank for ten minutes, you will come to a picturesque quarter perched on the right embankment of the river. There are lots of cafes and shops scattered amongst the 17th century buildings. Honestly, this is my favorite part of Minsk, although it is not the only place where you can spend some time in a warm relaxing atmosphere.
