The City of Minsk
Minsk is the capital of the Republic of Belarus. It is located in a picturesque place on the river Svisloch, which was in ancient times one of the busiest trade-routes connecting the Baltic and the Black seas. Minsk is the city where one can find the best pieces of Belarussian cultural heritage: museums and exhibitions, theatres, world famous Belarussian ballet, folklore dancing ensembles and choirs. Numerous scientific centres and leading institutions of higher education, situated in Minsk, are well-known abroad for their fundamental and applied researches. Minsk is a cross-road of the most popular European tours. It is connected by motorways, railways and airlines with all the European capitals and also with the main cities of the world.
