Welcome to the FSF's guide to Minsk, and very indepth it is too. How do we know so much about Minsk you may ask? We'd normally take credit and attribute it to painstaking research, and pre-visits with Belarussian officials (which we still did, honest!).
Truth be told a lot of the credit goes to Nigel Clarke, England fan and former resident of Belarus, who has contributed greatly to this section of the site. Especially with regards to food and drink, he knows a pub or two does Nigel!
If you're also interested in learning a bit more about what Minsk has to offer Nigel's recently-launched website can certainly educate you.
Meanwhile, see our handy sections below for all you need to know about Minsk while the Foreign & Commonwealth Office also lists some useful bullet points.
