by minchanka Flights inside Belarus are hardly worth considering. In fact, only a handful of domestic flights is available. It would be more comfortable to use a bus or train. There are some car rental agencies in Minsk, though you should bear in mind that distances within the country are pretty long. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

by minchanka The most comfortable way to come to Belarus is air in my opinion. The National Airport Minsk has connection with 14 European countries as well as with post-USSR counries. Flights are regular, and fares are not too pricey. Here is a link for National Airline website: BELAVIA Belarusian Airlines The chain of railroads is well developed also, but the service is far not perfect. If you prefer traveling by car, you would probably have some problems with endless waiting at the border-crossing points, bad conditions of roads (except one Brest-Minsk-Moscow), and absence of services along the road.

I would only take a plane, if you have to take a car, you might be sitting in line at the border for a few hours. Take the subway when ever you can. It's wonderful. If you can't hail a cab, they are reasonable, don't be afraid if a car just pulls over and wants to pick you up. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Taxi are quite frequent though agree a price before you start your journey. Use registered taxis 'only' or you may find that you are in very real danger. Walking, my advice is to walk and if possible higher a local guide. This will prove invaluable. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

The air connections to Belarus are not very good nor very cheap at all. For your information I have linked the page of the Belarussian air company.

Eurolines offers connections from all European countries. In Moscow busses to Belerus can be found at the station Belaruskaja. The drivers search for passengers in the waiting area and shout Smolensk - Minsk Autobus. But the train is more convenient than the bus. For longer distances the bus might be cheaper. More information can be found in the Minsk chapter soon.

The cheapest way is just hitch-hiking to Terespol and then to Brest. You can also go to Brest directly from Warsaw by a train, but there is more cheap way of going there. Go to Terespol (a border town) from e.g. Warsaw by a train. It costs 22 PLN (7 USD) for a second class and 33 PLN (11 USD) for a first class. Travel time app. 3,5h - 5h. In Terespol buy a ticket to Brest. It costs app. 4 PLN (1 Euro). The price from Brest to Terespol is app. 4800 BYR (2,5 USD). Leave a Comment
