It is rather convinient to go to Belarus by train.What was strange that on my way from Moscow to Minsk none asked me to show my passport. There is no border between countries, but what is more strange that even train conductors asked only for ticket.

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.

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.

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.

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.

There are 4 daily trains from Vilnius to Minsk and 8 daily buses. Costs are 14 liters (train) and 22 liters (Bus). Both take around 4 to 4.5 hours.
