Belarus

Primeval forests, Renaissance castles and well-preserved Soviet-era architecture coexist in a country still little travelled by Western tourism. Atlas Lume suggests reading Belarus through its landscapes, neighbourhoods, transport and living culture, with the context needed to plan with judgement rather than collect places.

Minsk works as a practical reference point, but every route should adapt to distances and season. The main language is Belarusian and Russian, the currency is Rublo bielorruso and the generally recommended time to go is May to September.
