    The area of the museum includes some country building, each one is dedicated to a different kraft. They have a carpenter ther, a blacksmith, a potter, a cheesmaker, a baker, a weaver. All things are made in a old way, like our ancestors used to make it in the beginning of the last century. You will have an opportunity to watch the process, to try to do something yourself and to taste the results. In the exebition room are displayed traditional costumes, instruments and daily life things. The restaurant will offer you very tipical belarusian dishes, which also have a long history. It is better to spend in Dudutki a whole day, because there is mach to see.

    Belavezhskaya Puscha - the oldest National Park in Europe. Being a protected area, this territory stands out against the environmental background and has existed in one form or another since the late 14th century. Almost all area of the park is covered with woods, prevailingly coniferous trees. The age of the trees reaches 160-180 years in general, but sometimes you can meet real elders (300 to 500 years old). Animals inhabit the National Park tightly. The most remarcable is european bison ('zubr' in Belarusian). At the main entrance to the park there are a museum, a restaurant, and special hedged areas for wild animals, where visitors can see the inhabitants of Belavezhskaya Puscha.

    Niasvizh is a small town 112km south-west of Minsk with population about 16000 people. It is one of the most ancient historical and cultural centers of Belarus, first mentioned in the 13th century. The town reached its highest flourishing when it became the residence of the magnates Radzivil. In fact the most monuments were built during the period of Radzivil government in 16th 17th centuries. The simbols of the town is Radzivil Castle. There are also other notable buildings - Farny Church (16th century), and Slutskaja Brama (Slutsk Gate).

    Photography. As I travelled through Minsk and onward to Volozhin I was amazed at the harsh reality that life can portray. I saw farmers ploughing the fields with no animals just the plough attached to their own bodies. I found this quite amazing to see, especially in the days of automated farming machinery. This gives some indication as to the nature in which the people endure.
    There were very many unique qualities that I experienced so many that they would be too numerous to mention. Though it should be noted that Minsk is a more Comercial centre than the more rural towns and therefore offers more to the Western tourist unless you are actually looking for the 'great outdoors'. I would once again remind you that the further out of town you travel the less likely you would be to find anyone speaking any language other than Russian. This can be a great hinderence to the Tourist.My suggestion to overcome this is to learn at least some Russian and take a translation book.

    • The key place in the history of Belarus that has to be visited, Brest was given the title of the 'Hero City' after its bitter standing against the Nazi attack in 1941. The fortress is essentially the monument you have to see there.

    • Well, it is a must. There are museums that would tell you the history of the country, some monuments left of the Old City, decent hotels, and it is a convenient starting point for many excursions inside Belarus.
